Lansing, MI – Governor Gretchen Whitmer has declared Saturday as Small Business Saturday in Michigan and urges Michiganders to buy locally this Saturday and throughout the year to support Michigan’s small businesses.

Michigan is home to 902,000 small businesses, with 1.9 million small business employees, representing 48.3 percent of Michigan workers. More than 99 percent of Michigan businesses are defined as small businesses with fewer than 500 employees.

Every year, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation launches the Support Local campaign to remind Michiganders of the importance of supporting small businesses during the holidays and throughout the winter season, in particular.
