Yesterday was National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day, and several independent booksellers got in on the fun with social media posts, including:
Page 158 Books, Wake Forest, N.C.: "Today is Mom and Pop Business Owners Day. We are grateful to be a part of this community. And today, we celebrate all the small, family owned businesses that make Wake Forest special."
Abalabix Books, Crystal Lake, Ill.: "Today is National Mom and Pop Business Day! Be sure to stop by your favorite independent businesses today to celebrate! "
Two Birds Books, Santa Cruz, Calif.: "Happy National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day! Here's to all the small, local businesses who talk shop at family meals and happily take on the less glamorous tasks alongside the fun ones. Our community is what it is because of you!--Gary & Denise. You can support your favorite local businesses by: Talking them up--word of mouth advertising is invaluable for small shops; giving gift cards from local businesses as gifts; sharing social media content from your favorite small shops to help more people find out about them; show your favorite local mom-and-pop shops some love by tagging them!"
Next Page Books, Cedar Rapids, Iowa: "Today is National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day and our small business could not be more 'mom and pop' if we tried. However, instead of focusing on us today, we want to acknowledge everyone who continues to support our business and the other small brick-and-mortar shops that make New Bohemia such a special place. We could not do this without you and, for that, we're eternally grateful.... Thanks for shopping local, Cedar Rapids. We're happy to serve you!"
