November 26, 2022 is Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities. This year, we know that small businesses need our support now more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Please join SBA and organizations across the country in supporting your local small businesses by shopping at a small business.

Founded by American Express in 2010 and officially cosponsored by SBA since 2011, Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses’ busiest shopping season. Historically, reported projected spending among U.S. consumers who shopped at independent retailers and restaurants on Small Business Saturday reached an estimated $23.3 billion according to the 2021 Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey commissioned by American Express.

The Throggs Neck Bid’s First Annual Gala was an extraordinary success! Approximately 330 guests filled the Villa Barone Manor to celebrate the amazing success of the young organization, which included making the commercial district the cleanest in the borough, bringing new street lights, improving safety, and exceptional beatification, among many other accomplishments. So much more is planned for the future! Thanks to both those who attended and those who supported the evening by purchasing journal ads. (Photo: Executive Director Bob Jaen address the crowd.
