As holiday shopping season officially begins, everyone is rushing to get the best deals for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. But as crowds flock to the big department stores, many people tend to forget Small Business Saturday. The Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend (November 26th) is devoted to seeking out small businesses and independent shops and supporting them rather than giant corporations. As inflation continues to skyrocket and the economy becomes increasingly difficult to navigate, shopping small and local is more important than ever.

But what if you've only just moved to the area? It takes a while to discover the larger businesses in a new neighborhood, much less the small, independent ones. Don't worry. Our real estate agents know Klamath Falls and can help you find what you're looking for. Here are our favorite places to shop small in the area.

• Keepers Corner LLC - 195 E. Main St., Klamath Falls, OR 97601
