As we approach the holiday season, it's important to remember the small businesses that make our communities thrive. With Shop Small Business Saturday coming up on November 25, 2023, the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce encourages everyone to prioritize shopping locally. Not only does this support the businesses that contribute to the unique character of our neighborhoods, but it helps boost the local economy as well. From specialty boutiques to charming cafes, there are so many hidden gems waiting to be discovered in our community. Let's show them some love this November and beyond.
