Small Business Saturday

Shopping local is the perfect way to support small businesses during the holiday season. This year, our real estate agents suggest that you leave Black Friday to the crowd-followers. On November 27, be a trend-setter and support Small Business Saturday by patronizing these amazing shops around Bradenton and Sarasota.

The Dancing Crane Gallery - 1019 10th Ave. W., Bradenton, FL 34205

Mixon Fruit Farms - 2525 27th St. E., Bradenton, FL 34208
