Sturgis is proud to participate in Small Business Saturday on the last Saturday in November every year!
This is a national campaign with towns in all fifty states participating. Local and small businesses are invited to contribute a special offer on this day to encourage more local shopping and support Sturgis retail.

How You Can Support Our Businesses
Small Business Saturday is about shopping at our local businesses to support what they are doing and their contributions to our community! The more we shop local, the more local shops we will have. Consider doing the following on Small Business Saturday and beyond:
1. Check out our local shops.
We have hundreds of businesses in the Sturgis area, and thirty open year-round in the downtown area alone! Contact our Chamber office if you need help finding our local stores.
2. Try the “90% Challenge”
Sturgis challenges you to complete at least 90% of your holiday shopping list or holiday shopping budget locally! Next time you open that Amazon app, think twice – most of the items you are looking for can be found right here in Sturgis!
3. Shop on Small Business Saturday.
Even though we encourage you to shop local every day, Small Business Saturday is a great day to start! Our shops will feature special deals, snacks and drinks, giveaways, and more on this event day.
4. Encourage others to shop local!
Share the ‘shop local’ mantra with everyone you know. Shopping local supports stores that actually care about our town. The local stores donate to our soccer teams, our post-prom party, the new bike park in town, our local nonprofits… the list goes on. When is the last time a big box store or remote online retailer did that? Say thank you to our shops by giving them your business!
Join the movement and help us support local businesses by shopping in Sturgis during Small Business Saturday each year. You will be amazed at all of the unique products and services you can find right here in town! Thank you for doing your part to #ShopLocal and #ShopSturgis.
Sturgis Small Business Saturday is organized by the Sturgis Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau, an independent 501(c)6 nonprofit.
