Looking for a unique gift for your friends and family this holiday season? Or maybe you’re just looking to get out of the house and do some shopping? Either way, Providence has got you covered. This Saturday, November 26th, is Small Business Saturday – a day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country. Here is our list of 5 local businesses you need to check out!
The first store on our list that we wanted to feature in our blog is The Matchbox. The Matchbox is a one-of-a-kind shop located in the heart of the Fox Point Neighborhood of Providence. The Matchbox offers a wide selection of Rhode Island themed t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, mugs, stickers, magnets, posters, printers, and more!
The second business we are highlighting in our Small Business Saturday blog is Hegeman & Co. Hegeman & Co was established in 1970 by Richard Hegeman, a skilled bench jeweler and lapidary. If you’re in the market for a one-of-a-kind piece of fine jewelry, Hegeman & Co is the perfect destination. With a rich history and a dedication to craftsmanship, you can be confident that you’re in good hands.
Are you looking for gift ideas for friends and family members that love wine? Well, look no further. Bin 312 is one of Rhode Island’s newest wine shops full of eclectic, exclusive, and interesting wines that you will love. Bin 312 has Thursday night wine tastings, which are a must try because they feature a variety of winners in the store.
When Coffee Connection was first founded in 2001, it was nothing more than a traditional bakery selling bread, pastries, and a single blend of Columbian coffee. However, as the years went by and the company grew in popularity, the concept began to evolve. The company launched flavored signature coffees and started to focus more on breakfast and lunch.
Looking for a local farmers market that is open year-round? Providence Farmers Market has a large selection of local farm and food vendors in a facility designed for hosting year-round markets! Currently, Providence Farmer’s market has over 60 local vendors and will have those vendors until the end of December!
Even if you are unable to visit any of these places on Small Business Saturday, that doesn’t mean you can’t support these fantastic local businesses year-round! When you are shopping for holiday gifts, remember to shop local if you can!
