(Atlantic) The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce Atlantic has been recognized as a Neighborhood Champion for the seventh year in a row by American Express.
Atlantic will participate in the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday to support small businesses.
“We’re excited to partner with Atlantic Area businesses to create safe shopping incentives to celebrate Small Business Saturday,” Bailey Smith, Executive Director at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce said. “It’s a great opportunity for Atlantic to receive positive, national exposure. The events of 2020 have further solidified the fact that Atlantic has everything you need. Small Business Saturday is just an added reminder for the community how important their support and participation in shopping local is to keeping Atlantic a vibrant place to live,” mentioned Smith.
Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday® is a day to celebrate the small businesses that help support our community. American Express created the Neighborhood Champion Program to help rally communities around Small Business Saturday and is working alongside numerous business organizations to support local Small Business Saturday celebrations throughout the country.
American Express recognizes communities that have strong participation. The on-going Shop Local Initiative, presented by First Whitney Bank & Trust, and overall community support has helped Atlantic achieve this national recognition.
