Now more than ever, it is vital we support the small businesses who make such valuable and distinct contributions to our community and local economy. Shop Small - Support Local 2020 is a celebration of small businesses ranging from retail stores and restaurants to fitness studios and salons, and everything in between. Downtown merchants will be distributing commemorative custom Pleasanton totes for shoppers to enjoy with their purchase. Visit www.pleasantondowntown.net/ShopSmall for participating locations to receive totes with purchase, special offers and more!
