Noblesville’s Small Business Saturday celebration

Indianapolis, Indiana – Small Business Saturday is a great opportunity to honor small business owners in your community after the insanity of Black Friday shopping!

The purpose of the day is to promote small companies both domestically and in our home state of Indiana. This weekend, a large number of individuals in Noblesville’s downtown participated in small-town shopping events throughout Central Indiana.

“This community could not be better,” said Anna and Isaiah, the owners of Bica Cafe. “Generally, you walk out and see your neighbor, see your friend, and the same people come and drink your coffee and it just starts a whole chain of reaction of kindness here.”

To encourage more Hoosiers to shop locally this holiday season, hundreds of local businesses opened their doors with exclusive discounts and specials throughout the day.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Rhonda King, the owner of Thistle & Thyme. “It’s a lot of energy and by the end of the day we are exhausted but it’s a lot of fun.”

This is the busiest day of the year for many small business owners, according to them. They claim that the support they receive on this day from both new and returning consumers means the world to them.

“We are all so passionate and work so hard and we will remember every face that comes in and every purchase that’s made,” said Lindsey McVey, owner of Just Lagom. “It means so much to us, especially around the holidays.”

There’s still plenty of time throughout the holiday season to show support for small business owners in your community, even after Small Business Saturday.
