Big deals on Small Business Saturday

DETROIT – Small Business Saturday was launched by American Express six years ago and the campaign urges consumers to think local.

The growing push to buy local keeps small stores like Green Bliss open for business. Most of the specialty items at Green Bliss are made in Michigan.

The Flagship Boutique offers custom prints and one-of-a kind pieces. Wayne Scott, the manager of Flagship Boutique, says that his shop offers something the big stores can't.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and local business owners came together Tuesday to launch the "Detroit Neighborhood Business Directory."

The guide includes listings for more than 170 Detroit businesses and hopes to encourage residents to buy local.
