To kick-off the upcoming Small Business Saturday, an American Express® Neighborhood Champion Program, which takes place on November 30, Lake Havasu City and the Lake Havasu Area Chamber of Commerce are touring the town today to celebrate our local small businesses and the contributions they make to our local economy and community.
This year’s celebration is the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday, marking a decade of support from American Express for local business owners. Since it started in 2010, consumers have reported spending an estimated $103 billion across all Small Business Saturdays combined.
Lake Havasu City has approximately 3,500 active businesses, and those businesses that support the Lake Havasu Chamber of Commerce with membership, employ more than 20,000 Lake Havasu citizens.
Working toward a new era of progress and competiveness through investments in small businesses, Lake Havasu City supports these businesses as a critical component of restoring and rebuilding a healthy economy, as the perseverance, hard work, and resourcefulness of small business owners form the foundation of our prosperity and success.
Lake Havasu City’s small business owners have realized success through their vision, hard work, and commitment to operating a business daily, and their efforts are critical to building a better Lake Havasu City today and in the future.
