Why Shopping Small and Local Helps Pittsburgh

99% of Pittsburgh's businesses are considered "small," and so many of our favorite small businesses make about a third of their revenue for the whole year during the holidays. So while you might be tempted by Amazon's Black Friday Deals, consider perusing a neighborhood's main street on Small Business Saturday instead. Host Megan Harris is with YaJagoff's Rachael Rennebeck to make the case for shopping small all year long. Feeling inspired to support small and local shops? Visit one of our many holiday markets to find the perfect gift.
