- The Financial Advantage
Small Business Saturday is just around the corner, and Lake Norman’s vibrant community of local businesses is ready to welcome you on November 30th (this weekend). This annual event is the perfect opportunity to support the heart and soul of our community—our small businesses. From unique boutiques to cozy coffee shops and family-owned restaurants, Lake Norman has it all.
Shopping locally isn’t just about finding one-of-a-kind gifts or enjoying personalized service. It’s about strengthening our local economy and helping our community thrive. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, for every dollar spent at a small business, approximately 67 cents stay within the local community. That’s a big impact!
While you’re shopping, don’t forget to have lunch at one of our fantastic local restaurants. Lake Norman offers a wide variety of dining options, from quaint cafes to waterfront spots and everything in between. Refuel and enjoy the delicious flavors that make our area special!
Make it a day to remember by inviting friends and family to join you. Stroll through charming downtown areas, enjoy live music, and soak in the festive atmosphere. Many businesses will offer exclusive deals, giveaways, and holiday-themed activities to enhance your shopping experience.
See our shopping locations highlighted each day this week to help you plan your perfect outing. Also, check out our dining guide throughout the week for the best places to enjoy a meal during or after your shopping adventure.
And don’t forget to dine out over the weekend! Celebrate your purchases and support more local establishments by exploring the diverse culinary delights Lake Norman has to offer.
Let’s come together this Small Business Saturday to celebrate and uplift the businesses that make Lake Norman a unique and thriving place to live. See you on November 30th!
