A message from our team

Happy Thanksgiving, Nashville. We’re scaling back our content a bit through the weekend so that our team can step away and enjoy time with loved ones. We’ll be back to our usual coverage next week!

Here at NASHtoday, we like to keep things local all year long, but on Small Business Saturday, the rest of the country joins us in our mission to shop small.

Founded by American Express in 2010 and cosponsored by the US Small Business Administration since 2011, Small Business Saturday is an initiative to bring small businesses to the forefront of the holiday shopping season on the last Saturday of November.

This year’s event falls on Saturday, Nov. 29, and we want to make shopping local as easy as possible. This map will allow you to find small businesses in your area.

Where we’re doing our shopping:
