The Greater Ishpeming-Negaunee Chamber of Commerce is promoting “Small Business Saturday”, the day after so-called “Black Friday” sends people scrambling into the Big Box Stores. This is designed to allow small businesses take the center stage for one day, with many of them offering discounts on items to get you into their stores.
Small businesses owned by local residents often donate to events in their communities, and emphasize customer service as a part of their business model. Some of the sales in Ishpeming-Negaunee:
