Shop local this holiday season!

As Thanksgiving approaches, many of us also look forward to Black Friday shopping. What you may not know, is that the Saturday following Thanksgiving is a big day as well: "Small Business Saturday." Many local businesses will be running some awesome deals and hosting events to celebrate. What better way to enjoy your holiday weekend than by getting great deals and supporting local businesses? This year, Small Business Saturday occurs on November 26. Let's take a look at some Denver businesses offering Small Business Saturday specials:

Waterworks Car Wash

Going to the car wash during the fall and winter months is more important than you might think. Luckily, Waterworks Car Wash is offering some specials for Small Business Saturday. Waterworks is a full-service car wash and detail facility, committed to providing customers with efficient and high-quality washes, while also taking eco-friendly measures

Looking to do your Christmas shopping? Why not gift your friends and family members with car wash gift cards? On November 26 only, you can score 50% off gift cards!

Some deals aren't only on Saturday either! Waterworks gives you even more time to secure the best prices. From November 21–December 31, get 20% off gift cards.

Everyone has to wash their car! Secure the best car wash gift card deals when you shop at Waterworks.

Ku Cha House of Tea

Tea is such a pleasant and cozy drink. Warm up this winter with discounts on looseleaf tea. With such a large variety of teas, it can be tough to choose which one to get! This deal is perfect for the indecisive people out there (like me), as you can mix and match flavors. 

Check out this business in Cherry Creek, as part of their Small Business Weekend, from Friday, November 25, to Sunday, November 27. It's tea time!

Modern Nomad

Modern Nomad is a collective of women-owned businesses, and one of my favorite local spots to shop at. There's a variety of awesome vendors to check out when shopping at this warehouse space in RiNo. This Small Business Saturday, they are holding a 5th-anniversary party, as Modern Nomad actually opened on Small Business Saturday in 2017! From 11 a.m.–7 p.m., sip champagne, listen to some tunes, and get discounts at Modern Nomad. 

Edgewater Public Market

This market is your one-stop shop for supporting tons of local businesses on Small Business Saturday. Shop at 35 different businesses on November 26 starting at 9 a.m. At this market, you will find food stalls and retail boutiques, making it a very fun way to spend your day. Shopping and eating make the perfect duo! Additional event details can be found here

Shopping at small and local businesses is the move. I love supporting these types of businesses, and they often add a special touch that you won't find at large chain retailers. These are just a handful of places to shop locally this holiday season. Happy Holidays!
