River Parishes, LA – The River Region Chamber of Commerce invites the community to celebrate Small Business Saturday on November 30, 2024, by shopping and dining locally. Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, driving growth, creating jobs, and fostering the unique character of our neighborhoods.
 
“Small Business Saturday is a chance to show appreciation for the entrepreneurs who work tirelessly to make our region a better place to live and thrive,” said Ray Gregson, CEO of the River Region Chamber. “When we shop local, we’re investing in our community’s future and supporting the businesses that make our neighborhoods special.”

Why Shop Local?

• Support the Local Economy: Shopping locally keeps money in the community, strengthens other businesses, and funds essential public services like schools and infrastructure.
• Enjoy Personalized Service: Small business owners are passionate and knowledgeable, offering expert advice and unique customer experiences.
• Build Community Pride: Shopping locally fosters connections, reinforces neighborhood identity, and strengthens the culture of our parishes.

The Local Impact

Every dollar spent at a local business generates a cycle of reinvestment that benefits the entire community. Enhanced tax revenues support public services while thriving small companies contribute to vibrant neighborhoods that attract residents and visitors alike.

How to Participate

• Shop Small: Visit local businesses in St. Charles, St. John, and St. James Parishes.
• Dine Small: Enjoy meals at neighborhood cafes, bakeries, and restaurants.
• Spread the Word: Share your experiences on social media using #ShopSmall, #ShopRiverParishes, and #SmallBizSaturday.

The River Region Chamber of Commerce proudly advocates for small businesses, recognizing their essential role in building a strong and resilient community. This Small Business Saturday, let’s celebrate and support the companies that make our region unique.
