Shop Small this Holiday Season

Supporting small business is now more important than ever. This holiday season looks a little different, but you can still shop small to help support your favorite local Hollywood businesses, both in-store and online.

Top 5 Reasons To #ShopSmall:

• Small businesses give back to the community
• Local store owners create local jobs
• Local owners buy local services themselves
• Local establishments provide great customer service
• Small businesses create a sense of community
