Shrewsbury State Representative Hannah Kane, is reminding Massachusetts residents to shop at local businesses the Saturday and Sunday following Thanksgiving. Representative Kane co-sponsored a recently passed House Resolution establishing November 25th and 26th as Small Business Weekend in the Commonwealth.
The Resolution encourages residents to shop local and establishes Small Business Weekend to officially recognize the importance and positive impact small businesses and local entrepreneurs hold in communities across the Commonwealth. Residents of the Commonwealth are called upon to support their neighbors and local economy through making purchases at small and family-owned businesses on the weekend of November 25th.
“Small businesses are pillars of our communities and contribute to the very fabric and success of our towns. In turn, I am proud to support ‘Main Street’ through shopping locally and actively encouraging friends and neighbors in Shrewsbury and Westborough to do the same. Choosing to support family and small owned businesses is an investment in our Commonwealth’s future,” added Representative Kane. “For every $100 spent locally, $68 stays in our community, compared to only $43 when spent at a chain store. It’s a win-win for everyone. I hope others will join me in looking to their own backyard when shopping, dining, or searching for a gift this holiday season.”
Representative Kane is a strong supporter of small business, having earned a spot in 2016 in the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Massachusetts coveted “100% Club” for her perfect voting record on legislation that has a significant impact, either negative or positive, on the small business community in Massachusetts.
