Small Business Saturday
The owner
of Salon Rouge, Andrew Brown, right, prepares for Small Business Saturday. Located on 700
Elmwood Ave., Salon Rouge will be among
a number of small businesses participating in this national event. Taking place Nov. 30, businesses will
offer discounts and promotions similar to those of Black Friday and Cyber
Monday. Encouraging people to patronize mom and pop shops, the event began in 2010 as an advertising campaign by
American Express. As part of the holiday, Salon Rouge will offer 20 percent off of all retail products and specials on manicures and pedicures. Neo Gift Studio, 512
Elmwood Ave., above, will also offer specials to its shoppers
according to owner Joan Zoerb. By Sean Dwyer and Youleidy Vega
