Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Nov. 27 this year, is designed to encourage shoppers to support small businesses on that day and beyond. It's a great way to support local businesses that provide unique merchandise along with personalized customer service while adding to the local flavor of the community.
  
Our real estate agents suggest stopping by the following establishments on Small Business Saturday and beyond.

• Atlanta Breakfast Club - 249 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30313
  Start your day of shopping by fueling up at the Atlanta Breakfast Club, a comfortable diner-style restaurant. You'll be able to choose from a modest yet delicious breakfast of fresh fruit and yogurt with local honey and house-made granola. Or go all out with a Southern Breakfast consisting of two eggs in any style, your choice of meat, grits or breakfast potatoes, and your choice of a biscuit or toast. If you'd prefer to stop by for a break in your shopping for lunch, try the fried chicken sandwich (made with two chicken breasts) or shrimp po' boy.
