Support independent and local businesses this holiday season.

The AMEX Small Business Saturday is a part of the larger Shop Small Movement. Overall, last year, Small Business Saturday drove an estimated $17.9 billion based on projections from U.S. consumer reported spending, with more than two-thirds of shoppers strongly agreeing they will continue to Shop Small throughout the holiday season because of the impact that it has on their local community. This is according to the results of the 2022 Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey released by American Express.

The Bellevue Downtown Association is encouraging shoppers to buy gifts from independent and local businesses every Saturday throughout the season, even though November 25th is the date that is recognized as “Small Business Saturday.”

Below are the businesses that are in Old Bellevue. We have also included a list of all of the Saturdays from November 25th and thereafter throughout the holiday season to shop at local and independent businesses.
