Small Business Saturday (Week)
2020-11-28 - 2020-12-05
For the last several years, the Chamber of Commerce has supported Franklin small businesses by promoting and sponsoring Small Business Saturday. The event, usually scheduled for the Saturday after Black Friday will be expanded this year to include the entire week, November 28 through December 5. By extending the event, social distancing will be much easier for customers and will hopefully result in increased sales for participating merchants.
For every $20 spent, customers are allowed one entry in a drawing for a $250, $150 or $100 Chamber Gift Certificate. Our small businesses need us more than ever before so the Chamber has decided to give two sets of prizes, giving six customers the opportunity to win.
A list of participating merchants will be announced soon!
