A major reason Volume One exists is to share all the cool stuff going on at small businesses around the Chippewa Valley. That’s why few things get us as excited each year as the tradition of Small Business Saturday – the day when good people come out in droves to explore and support all the mom-n-pop shops out there.

We visited The Local Store, Banbury Place Building 13, Muldoon’s Men’s Wear, Williams Diamond Center, Blue Ox Running, Tangled Up in Hue, and Sky Yoga. We heard directly from the owners and managers about why supporting small businesses is so important, checked out some fun products, and heard what shoppers had to look forward to through the rest of the holiday season.

Check out the live segments ­– with your host Kiah Sexton – here below in the order we stopped by, and spread the word on these and so many other great local retailers all over the Chippewa Valley. And remember, shopping local doesn’t have to be limited to Small Business Saturday. Get out there and make your impact on the community with every dollar you spend this season!
