Grand Street BID is hitting the streets again this year to celebrate Small Business Saturday! With all the adversity this past year has brought to our communities, it is now more important than ever to support our small businesses.

We will be setting up a table this Saturday, November 28th outside of Mac & PC store and Alcatraz Flower Shop at 648 Grand Street from 12pm to 2pm. Stop by to check out Shop Small promotional materials such as stickers, buttons, pennant flags, tote bags, and more for passersby. The pop-up will also include a prize wheel with the opportunity to win merchandise from the BID.

Grand Street BID Executive Director Erin Piscopink says, “Grand Street is a unique commercial corridor in North Brooklyn that has retained it’s authentic neighborhood atmosphere, in large part because of the large presence of small businesses that have always found a home in our district. We are proud to celebrate the dedication that our merchants have for our community and the diversity of our 100+ small businesses that makes our street special.”

We are also hosting an Instagram raffle! To enter, post photos of how you are spending the holiday season on Grand Street. Tag @GrandStreetBID and use #lifeisgrand in your post. The Grand prize will be a gift bag full of goodies purchased from our shops in the BID! Items will include, wine, coffee, t-shirts, self-care products, gift cards and more! The raffle will be open from Thanksgiving day until New Year’s Day. One post = one raffle entry, and the winner will be announced on January 2nd, 2021!
