“Small Business Saturday” is a national annual initiative to help raise awareness to independently owned businesses. This year, we encourage you to “shop small” during one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.
Forest Park Southeast along with the Grove entertainment/consumer district offers many unique and wonderful gifts that you simply can’t find at your local, overcrowded mall. Stop by one of our many independently owned restaurants for a gift certificate to give to that special someone on your list. We also have numerous retail shops to explore as well. Who says you have to buy from a massive chain store? Get your friends and family something new and fresh this year.
