ABOUT SHOP SMALL

 

Shoppers, small businesses, and civic leaders come together to support small businesses and give back to their local communities. Shopping small adds up to big things and together, we can make an impact.

 
At American Express, we believe that small businesses and the joy they bring are at the core of every neighbourhood. That's why we created Shop Small, to encourage people to show their support for small businesses by shopping small and local.
