Shopping Small Gives Back To The Community In Big Ways
Sauk Valley, IL – Every few months independent businesses in the Sauk Valley area come together to promote themselves and each other on “Shop Small Saturday”. They do it to show the community why it’s important to support local businesses.
Terry and Penny Bright are a few of those independent business owners. They opened their small business in 1994 as a car dealership.
In the middle of the Beanie Baby craze in the mid-90’s, they decided to start selling the stuffed toys at their Sterling, IL store and from there Golden Key Gift Shop began to grow.
