Shop Small Week

Shop Small Week - A 9 Day Passport Event Kicking Off On Shop Small Saturday
Saturday, November 29 – Sunday, December 7, 2025

The St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce is proud to host the St. Bernard Chamber Shop Small Week, an annual celebration of the one-of-a-kind businesses that make our parish special. Held in conjunction with Shop Small Saturday, this 9 day event supports the national movement by American Express to encourage shopping local during the holiday season.

By shopping, dining, and supporting local throughout the 9 days, you’re doing more than checking off your gift list—you’re helping family-owned businesses thrive, fueling our local economy, and investing directly in the dreams of St. Bernard Parish entrepreneurs.

How It Works:
Pick up a Shop Small Passport at any participating business or at the kickoff event. Collect stamps from five local businesses to be entered into the Shop Small Raffle for a chance to win gift cards and items donated by participating businesses. You can fill out as many passports as you like—each completed one counts as a new entry. Drop completed passports at any participating location; winners will be drawn the Monday after Shop Small Week ends.

Kickoff Event:
📍 French Press Coffeehouse of Chalmette
🗓 Saturday, November 29 | 9:00 – 11:00 AM
Start your Shop Small adventure with coffee, coupons, and your passport before heading out to explore local shops, restaurants, and services.

For Businesses:
Participation is FREE for St. Bernard Chamber members, and open to restaurants, boutiques, retailers, service providers, and more.  Non-members can easily join the Chamber to take part. Participating businesses receive placement on the Shop Small Map, a feature on the St. Bernard Chamber Shop Small landing page, a spotlight on any deals or discounts offered, and a direct link to their website or Facebook page.
