Why Shopping Small Is the Biggest Deal This Black Friday Weekend

The Real Impact of Shopping Small

When you shop with a small business, you’re supporting real people, your neighbors, friends, and fellow community members. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, for every dollar spent at a small business, nearly 67 cents stays in your local community. That means your purchase helps pay local employees, supports nearby suppliers, and keeps your favorite local spots thriving. Every item you purchase at The Hot Room helps us continue creating a space where our team and community can thrive together.

Black Friday Doesn’t Have to Mean Big Box

While Black Friday usually brings to mind big crowds and bigger discounts, small businesses are reshaping the experience. Shopping small doesn’t mean missing out; it simply means discovering value in personal service, thoughtful products, and genuine community. At THR, you’ll find high-quality, curated products designed to elevate your wellness routine, along with personalized guidance from a team that knows and supports your goals. No chaos. No crowds. Just connection, quality, and care.

Small Business Saturday: What It Is and Why It Matters

Small Business Saturday falls right between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It serves as a reminder of the heart and hustle behind local business. After the challenges of the past few years, shopping small is more meaningful than ever. It’s how we keep our communities vibrant and growing. This year, join us in celebrating Small Business Saturday by choosing to support local whenever you can.
