Grand Street in Williamsburg has always been home to a vibrant community of small and family businesses, so for mall Business Saturday on November 30th, the BID team will hit the streets to celebrate our neighborhood merchants.
Partnering with The Forum, the BID will set up a pop-up table at 711 Grand Street from 12pm to 2pm with 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 a raffle for a merchandise prize from Forum.
In addition to setting up outside, the BID will be sharing those promotional materials with retail businesses along Grand Street to spread the cheer around the neighborhood.
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 150+ small businesses that makes our street special.”
We are also partnering with Forum to kick off our Holiday Food Drive which helps feed local families at the St. John the Evangelist food pantry at 195 Maujer Street. The Forum is a yearly participant in the program, and will collect non perishable food items from December 1st to 19th to donate to the program.
Come to Grand Street on Small Business Saturday (Nov. 30) to enter our raffle, receive shop small swag, and patron one of our many small retail and service businesses.
