After many people flocked to big box stores for Black Friday, Saturday is a day for consumers to shop small for Small Business Saturday.
One small business welcoming customers on Saturday is The Paper Station in Newington, which is run by a brother and sister who have been in town for decades working to keep the downtown area vibrant. The store has signs up inviting people in, using the social media hashtag #ShopSmall.
With the rise of Black Friday and malls opening earlier than ever for holiday sales, small business owners say it's getting tougher and tougher to compete. Those businesses say they depend on Small Business Saturday and the holiday season to keep their doors open year-round.
