March 29th is National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day, a day to honor all small business owners. Small businesses are a vital part of the U.S. economy and are sometimes overlooked. But consumers can show them their much-deserved appreciation by shopping at small businesses instead of big ones. Starting your own business is the dream of many. It takes much nurturing dedication and hard work. You need to nurture your business to grow it. You will need to put much energy into it to create a successful small business. Starting out is the first step, but building and expanding is what you need to do to be successful. Even though “Mom and Pop” businesses cover a wide range of operations, they all have one thing in common: superior customer service. In the current retail climate, small businesses are struggling to survive. These operations are important, though, because they offer a personal touch that online shopping can never replace.

National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day honor all small business annually on March 29th!

The Segel family founded National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day in honor of their parents' love for one another. The couple met in the 1930s, when they opened up a hat shop in New York City. Today, the Segel's clothing store continues to sell hats, clothing, and other accessories.
