Temporary closures, capacity restrictions, decreased demand for products and services and delays due to supply-chain issues have led to unprecedented challenges for small-business owners. But the "Shop Small" movement continues amid these hardships. "This holiday season looks a little different, but we can still share joy," American Express, which established Small Business Saturday in 2010, said in a statement. "Shop small and support your favorite small businesses — both in store and online — all holiday season long." Sixty-two percent of small businesses in the United States need to see sales income return to the same rate it was pre-pandemic before the end of the year to stay in business, according to American Express. These businesses, many family-owned, were already fighting for survival against malls, big box stores and online retailers before the pandemic. "Small businesses have an immeasurable effect on the quality of life in neighborhoods by providing necessary resources and supporting a local ecosystem that includes charitable organizations, schools and churches," said Caroline Connors, executive director of the Morgan Park Beverly Hills Business Association, an organization that supports small businesses on the South Side of Chicago.
