The holiday season often brings a rush to big stores and online giants, but what if you could start your shopping with a purpose that benefits your local community?
Pink Friday offers a fresh alternative to the usual Black Friday frenzy. This nationwide event, held the Friday before Black Friday, invites shoppers to support small and local businesses first. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating independent retailers and the unique stories behind them.
What Is Pink Friday?
Pink Friday began in 2020 as a movement to encourage shoppers to discover and support small businesses before the big-box stores take over. The idea is simple: shop local first. By choosing small retailers, shoppers help keep money within their communities, support local jobs, and preserve the character of their neighborhoods.
This event is more than just a shopping day. It’s a celebration of community spirit and the hard work of independent business owners. The hashtag #SupportSmallFirst captures the heart of Pink Friday, reminding everyone that local businesses deserve attention and appreciation during the busiest shopping season.
