Shop Local Small Business Saturday is one week from today, with the Indianola Chamber of Commerce urging residents to stay home in Indianola to do their holiday shopping.

Chamber President Brenda Easter tells KNIA News supporting local businesses is really self serving.

“One thing that everybody needs to think about is every dollar you spend here, stays here. It supports our infrastructure, our roads, our schools. So making it an intentional habit to shift even 5% of your spending locally will make a million dollar impact.”

Easter also said that many local businesses will have new products and special prices, so it will be worth it to walk around the square to see what you can find.
