National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day

The National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day was established by Rick and Margie Segel in honor of their parents and the successful hat shop they opened in 1939. Mom-and-pop shops are incredibly important to the economy and the communities they exist in. Almost 70% of all new jobs in the country are the result of mom-and-pop shops. There are more than 7,936,977 small businesses in the USA. Small mom-and-pop shops provide more than just their services and jobs; they also function as community centers. The phrase mom-and-pop refers to small businesses run by families in the community they serve. Shop local, promote local small businesses, and help improve your community today!
