We’ve been lucky to connect with and learn about nearly 300 small businesses across the country in the past handful of months, so when Small Business Saturday approached, we reached out to ask if we could showcase some of our alumni for those looking for an easy way to shop small this year and support locally owned businesses.
Here’s a wonderful assortment of businesses, mostly in retail, we encourage you to consider shopping with this season.
Small Businesses you can shop with Nationally
Billy’s Bakery
Billy’s Bakery is a local neighborhood bakery founded in 2003. We have 4 locations in NYC, namely the flagship in Chelsea near the High Line, Tribeca, Upper West Side and The Plaza Food Hall. We pride ourselves on traditional American baked goods – cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, cheesecakes and bars.
The Billy’s model is based on 3 pillars: great product, excellent customer service and welcoming aesthetics. All this results in our tagline, Celebrate Homemade! We want our customers to Celebrate Homemade with us.
We developed our DIY baking kits a few years ago, but over time they have really gained traction especially during COVID.
Try our cookie decorating kit this holiday. It’s a way to Celebrate Homemade with you and your loved ones:
