About Shop Small®
The movement that's all about
supporting small businesses all year long
supporting small businesses all year long
Every time you pick up a coffee at your local café, grab lunch at the mom-and-pop shop, or buy a
new bag from a local store, you’re making an impact in your community. In fact, for every dollar
spent at a small business in the U.S., approximately 67 cents stays in the local community.1
Learn more about the Shop Small Movement and why American Express is proud to back
small businesses — online and on main street — all across the country.

We all have favorite small businesses we can't imagine living
without. However, fewer small businesses are opening and staying
open. To be successful requires an abundance of grit, passion and
determination. Watch the docuseries Saving Main, which looks at
some of the challenges three different small businesses faced and
the inspiring ways each business persevered.
