How to Find Small Business Saturday Deals Near Me
Find nearby Small Business Saturday specials for Nov. 28 with maps, local events, and quick confirmation tips.
To find Small Business Saturday deals near you, type your location into American Express's Shop Small Map to see nearby participating shops, cafes and salons. Plan to shop on Saturday, November 28, 2026, the date identified by the U.S. Small Business Administration on its Small Business Saturday page.
Small Business Saturday is an annual shopping event that encourages shoppers to support local small businesses. The Administration traces the event to American Express in 2010, with SBA co-sponsorship since 2011, so most local promotions cluster on that Saturday.

Start With the Shop Small Map
American Express describes its Shop Small Map as the primary near-me finder where you share a location or type one to find nearby cafes, salons and shops. The company says the map covers only qualifying card-accepting merchants and warns listings may contain errors, including from third parties, as explained on the Shop Small page from American Express. Use the map in this order for faster results.
Keep each search narrow so nearby offers stay visible.
- Allow location sharing or type a city, ZIP code or address
- Browse the nearby results by category or distance
- Select a listing to check its address, hours and description
Look for Neighborhood Champions
Neighborhood Champions are local businesses or organizations that arrange Small Business Saturday events and promotions. American Express invites shoppers to find champions in their area to locate organized activity. A champion page often groups several shops, performers, markets or extended hours in one place.
That grouping helps when individual stores have not posted their own specials yet.
Check the SBA Events Finder
Shoppers can supplement the map with the SBA searchable events and local-assistance directory to find district-office activities and counseling partners publicizing nearby small-business events, listed through the SBA events finder. That route is useful when the map shows few results. District offices and partner organizations often share event flyers, streets or business groups taking part on November 28.
