The holiday shopping season is upon us and Lombard Village President, William Mueller remind residents to shop big and small this year.
Mueller’s catchphrase “Shop Lombard” is encouraged to Lombard residents and visitors all year long but this holiday season he joins in the first-ever “Small Business Saturday” campaign on November 27 to support local independent businesses in our community. The campaign is initiated by American Express Open division to steer dollars toward local merchants. It is being supported by communities nationwide.
“Traditionally, the weekend post Thanksgiving between ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Cyber Monday’ is the two busiest shopping days of the holiday season,” said Mueller. “We want to remind shoppers not to overlook the smaller businesses in-town. By supporting these shops, we are recognizing their contribution to our community,” adds Mueller.
