National Small Business Day, November 28th
By David Josselyn
It’s easy, isn’t it? Just login to Amazon, do a quick search, a little research (hopefully), add items to your cart, checkout, and presto! For a minute or two of your time, in a few days, those items are at your doorstep. Amazon doesn’t have everything, but let’s say your sister-in-law loves craft beer and your best friend raves about “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” which is coming to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts next year. A quick (45 minutes one-way give or take) trip down the hill to Applejack Wine & Spirits will set you up with more craft beer than you knew existed and another few minutes on the internet can score those theatre tickets. While there is no problem shopping online or heading to the big chain store to conveniently find what you desire, there are good, hard-working folks that are left out of the equation; the local small businesses. The pandemic has hit the economy hard and the businesses suffering the most are the ones in your own backyard, so perhaps this year, more than any other, it is important to honor the intent of National Small Business Day on Saturday, November 28.
