PHOENIX - We constantly hear about Black Friday and next up, Cyber Monday. But let's not forget the one in between: Small Business Saturday.
It's a shopping day created by American Express, and it seems to be growing every year.
American Express says on its website that hundreds of millions of shoppers participated last year.
There's a Facebook page for it that has more than 3 million fans.
And if you're looking for small businesses to support in Arizona, you can find a full directory on localfirstaz.com.
Local First Arizona is a non-profit coalition of locally owned businesses.
You can also enter to win a $25 gift card to use on Small Business Saturday from San Tan Valley's Facebook page.
