Small Business Saturday is the heart of the Shop Indie Local weekend, a nationwide celebration of the small, creative, community-rooted businesses that give towns like Shepherdstown their character, charm, and staying power.
At Four Seasons Books, this day is all about you, the readers, neighbors, and friends who choose local over corporate convenience and who keep independent bookstores thriving.
Why Small Business Saturday Matters
When you shop at a locally owned bookstore, your dollars stay right here, supporting:
– Local jobs
– Neighborhood vitality
– Community organizations
– Cultural programming
– A thriving, walkable Main Street
Independent retailers return $53 of every $100 spent back to the local economy, compared to $14 at national chains and nearly zero online. That impact touches everything from job growth to public services to the long-term health of our town.
Choosing a small business isn’t small. It’s powerful.
