2022 Small Business Saturday: Lancaster Shop Hop

 

Looking for the 2023 Lancaster Shop Hop?

 

Lancaster, NH –Coos Economic Development Corporation (CEDC), a non-profit organization that supports Coos County small businesses and fosters economic growth, is pleased to sponsor and announce a group of businesses in Lancaster will bring back the Small Business Saturday Shop Hop on November 26 from 10am-4pm.

Small Business Saturday is a nationally recognized day designed to bring awareness to locally owned businesses and the impact they have on their communities and economy. Many people may think that Black Friday is the best shopping holiday of the year, but for those of us who love to shop local, that award goes to Small Business Saturday. The Lancaster Shop Hop last occurred in 2020 just before COVID paralyzed our communities. The group is looking to revive this November event as a joint marketing effort to build support for our local stores.

Fourteen (14) locally owned stores will be participating from the Main Street roundabout at Rte. 2 / Rte. 3 all the way to Elm Street and three (3) other businesses on Rte. 3. The day will include store discounts, giveaways, live music, free movies and raffle. The raffle drawing is open to the public and will be held at 4:30pm at Lancaster Motel.

Participating businesses include: Annie’s on Main, Dalton Mountain Motor Sports, Fuller Sugarhouse, Granite Grind, Lancaster Motel, Lancaster House of Pizza, Lancaster Antiques, Moments, Northwoods on Main Gifts, Polish Princess, Rialto Theatre, Ritz Fit, Taproot Marketplace, T Shea Pottery, and William Rugh Gallery.

“We believe that operating together in this capacity versus in marketing silos will better benefit our community as whole to draw greater public traffic to the area for the day. It also gives visitors who are here for the holidays a reason to stay in the area beyond Friday”, said Ericka Canales, Executive Director.

The event is dedicated to the late Greg Cloutier who was a major small business supporter in the community. He helped so many businesses with affordable spaces and supportive business advice over the years.
