This year, Small Business Saturday, an American Express initiative, occurs on November 30. It is a nationwide effort to call attention to small businesses and their importance to the economy. It was in honor of Small Business Saturday that Queen Anne’s County Economic & Tourism Development in conjunction with the Queenstown Premium Outlets invited 14 local businesses/ artisans to sell their products in an empty store front within the mall. This partnership is both an advantage to the outlets and small businesses as it helps create additional exposure during a peak shopping time.
