AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Small Business Saturday is in full swing, and shoppers are flocking to local stores to score big on hometown deals.
Small Business Saturday was founded in 2010. The U.S. Small Business Administration began sponsoring the event in 2011.

It’s a day for people to shop at the local businesses in their community.
Some small businesses in downtown Augusta say this event helps drive sales.
“We do have a great community, people that we see every week or sometimes every other day, and get to be friends. And yeah, it’s really awesome. Like that’s definitely a big plus to being here and having a brick-and-mortar shop is face-to-face communication. You don’t get that with online,” said Evan Grantski, the owner of Grantski Records.
You still have time to stop by local businesses in the community, but remember, you can always find them year-round.
