While Friday is a big sales day for major retailers, Saturday is all about those local, small shops. Shoppers are of course looking for deals, but they are also looking to support their community. News10NBC spoke to small business owners and managers about what Small Business Saturday. They say they are ready for the rush.

"We are prepared as we can be," says Daniel Jacken, operation manager of Parkleigh. "The store is stocked full as it can be with product right now. We have guys working out in the parking lot that are helping get in and out of park spaces because it gets a little crazy out here."

This is the third year stores have participated in Small Business Saturday. In 2010, American Express started the movement to encourage consumers to spend their money at local shops instead of big box retailers and the movement has caught on since then.
