November 27th, 2010 is the first-ever Small Business Saturday. A day to come together in support of the small businesses we love. The shops and restaurants that employ our neighbors and reinvest our money close to home. The businesses that are the heartbeat of our communities and local economies.

You can support Small Business Saturday by patronizing the local, independently owned small businesses in your neighborhood. And if you're an American Express Cardmember, you're eligible to earn a $25 statement credit on any purchase of at least $25 on Small Business Saturday at any locally owned independent small businesses that accept American Express, including Bananas At Large!
