    [title] => Small Business Saturday
    [description] => <p>Mayor Rizzo announced that he is once again partnering with the Revere Chamber of Commerce to promote &ldquo;Small Business Saturday&rdquo; on November 29, 2014. Small Business Saturday was founded in 2010 by American Express to help local businesses gain more customers and now, that program has turned into a powerful movement that drives shoppers to local merchants across the country.</p>
<p>Small Business Saturday is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which tend to focus on online and large scale businesses. By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar small businesses throughout the community. Revere is home to hundreds of local small businesses that make up an integral part of the business and social fabric of the community.</p>
<p>The day will start with a Community Kickoff Coffee Hour at Kinship Floral, LLC between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Businesses and consumers will be invited to meet neighborhood business owners and preview their special offers at the Chamber&rsquo;s pop-up market.  Santa Claus will also be on hand to distribute the Chamber&rsquo;s &ldquo;Small Business Passports&rdquo; so that consumers can visit other participating small businesses during the day and receive special discounts/offerings for shopping &ldquo;small&rdquo;.  &ldquo;Small Business Passports&rdquo; will also be available to consumers at all participating businesses.</p>
<p>Mayor Rizzo and members of the Revere Chamber of Commerce will also be visiting local businesses across the community from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Those businesses include:</p>
<p>Luberto&rsquo;s Bakery</p>
<p>The Good Diner</p>
<p>Volare  Italian Restaurant</p>
<p>Adrian&rsquo;s Laundry</p>
<p>BW&rsquo;s Grill </p>
<p>Fiore&rsquo;s Market </p>
<p>New Deal Fruit, Inc. </p>
<p>Pearl Vision</p>
<p>Maeka Thai Restaurant</p>
<p>Beach Sales, Inc. </p>
<p>The Bagel Bin</p>
<p>St. Jeans Credit Union</p>
<p>Frank&rsquo;s Suffolk Diner </p>
<p>Dimino&rsquo;s Subs </p>
<p>&ldquo;As a former local business owner here in Revere, and as past president of the Revere Chamber of Commerce, I know first hand the amount of effort that goes into running a business.  As Mayor, I will continue to do everything in my power to strengthen our local business community. Small Business Saturday is a perfect example of how we can come together to promote, celebrate, and recognize local commerce,&rdquo; stated Mayor Rizzo.</p>
