Your Guide to Shopping Local in Pittsburgh

Small Business Saturday introduces community members to the local shops and restaurants they might not have encountered otherwise. But this single day doesn’t have to be the only time you explore your neighborhood. Make it a point to shop small the next time you’re out and about rather than running straight to Target. You’ll find quality products, often handmade, and friendly staff that help grow our towns one purchase at a time. Here is a guide to shopping locally in your favorite towns and neighborhoods.
