Shop Small!

Support small businesses in Mansfield on Small Business Saturday - and all year long!

The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites Mansfield residents and friends to start their holiday shopping on the local level this Saturday for Small Business Saturday. Many Mansfield businesses will be ready to welcome shoppers with sales and specials.

Shoppers are encouraged to show their love of Mansfield businesses with a “Shop Small Selfie!” Take a picture of yourself shopping at a participating business, post it on social media, and tag the business and #ShopSmallMansfield.

Remember to bring your reusable shopping bags! The Town of Mansfield's "Bring Your Own Bag" ordinance, which went into effect in September, prohibits businesses from providing plastic checkout bags.
