Whether it’s shopping on Black Friday tomorrow, or Small Business Saturday this weekend, online for Cyber Monday, or anytime over the holidays, I encourage readers to start out by considering businesses you can support in Southborough. There may be more options than you realize.
In case, you need a reminder why shopping local is so important. . .
Local businesses:
- support our tax base and reinvest in our local economy,
- provide local jobs,
- utilize local services,
- support our local charities and our local community (sports teams etc.).
