It is more important than ever to shop small this year.

In September, Forbes reported poll results indicating that 67% of small and mid-size businesses have seen their sales decline due to the pandemic, and although 70% are confident they can stay open for another six months, their future beyond then is unsure. We have a wonderful chance to rally around our local shops and restaurants this holiday season. Every one of the businesses listed offers either an online store or gift cards, which are both convenient and great gift-buying options.

We put this guide together in order to help keep our San Marco shops and services at top of mind when doing your holiday shopping. This list is by no means exhaustive, and we wish we had room to fit even more, but please give these businesses a search and follow on social media, and please #ShopSmallSanMarco!
