Small Business Saturday 2014

The 5th Year for Small Business Saturday November 29 looks to be one of the biggest nationwide as Downtowns and Main Streets across the country make a comeback.  
Over 30 businesses in Downtown Bismarck will participate with sales and specials to get the community to think local and #ShopSmall in Downtown Bismarck for the holidays.  
Local independent businesses of all types are celebrating Small Business Saturday as a community event.  Start the day off with breakfast and coffee at selected Downtown restaurants.  Shop holiday sales at Downtown Bismarck boutiques, shops, service providers, and art galleries and give a gift that supports friends and neighbors businesses.  All sales and specials from participating Small Business Saturday Downtown Businesses will be listed on our website shortly, so plan your route and make a day of it!  Use #ShopSmallBis to tell your Bismarck Small Business Saturday story.  Remember, shopping local has huge financial benefits for our community, guilt free spending!  www.downtownbismarck.com

Winter is officially here.  Just a refresher on snow removal Downtown.  Sidewalks are to be cleared within 24 hours of snowfall.  This includes keeping the curb cuts open at the intersections.  Please consider clearing as soon as possible to keep Downtown accessible to those with mobility challenges.
