Weelunk’s Ultimate Guide for Shopping Small

Updated 11/21/2022

With the holiday shopping season upon us, it’s a great time to support locally-owned businesses by shopping small. While many of us are aware of Small Business Saturday, we should think of it merely as a kick-off to year-round support of these businesses.

Browse through this list of local shops and start deciding which ones you will visit this year!
