Small Business Saturday Steals and Deals in Baltimore
Union Wharf residents: Did you know that Saturday, November 27 is Small Business Saturday? This day is meant to celebrate small business owners all over the world and encourage you to shop local, especially in our vibrant Fells Point community.
Small businesses are struggling to reinvigorate the business lost during the peak of COVID. Shopping small encourages the revitalization of locally-owned businesses and the community at large. It also helps ensure that your holiday shopping arrives on time. With extended delivery times and logistical problems, delays from many corporations have been increasing. By shopping at a small business in person, online deliveries will not be a concern, so you can check off your holiday shopping list with ease.
