Supporting Small Businesses on Saturday: Vroman's of Pasadena...

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

We have always supported small businesses, not just on the official "Small Saturdays", but all year long. 

Thanks to John Pusa  he reminded me that Vroman's celebrated their 130th year in business. How incredible is that? Now we could not go when the actual celebration was during the middle of the week, but we were thrilled to come our first opportunity.

Now if you are wondering, we have been supporting Vroman's for about 26 years. Yes, today Diane bought not just a couple of books, but various celebration cards, like Birthdays and other special occasions. She even managed to find a few Christmas - presents for our friends. Personally, I refrained with extra ordinary willpower not to buy the latest Jack Peppin cookbook.

The best part was we bought Holly along in her stroller and as every time we come to Vroman's she is the star, and everyone wants to make friends with her. I could tell she was looking forward to going to Vroman's Bookstore, during the drive.

The name Vroman's sounds familiar to me, as I seem to recall it being mentioned in Ferris Bueller's Day Off perhaps, haha.  I guess for whatever reason, I thought it was a grocery store and not a bookstore.

Good morning again, Endre. I supported my local business yesterday by purchasing three $75 gift cards at my hair salon, which were being discounted 20% for Small Business Saturday.

Endre small businesses are a very important part of every community, so it is important that we all do are part in supporting them in return.

I'm with Brian England . . .I thought Vroman's of Pasadena was a grocery store, not a bookstore.

Hi Endre- what a perfect choice for Supporting Small Business Day!!!  We used to go to our local bookstore in South Florida about once a week.

Hi Endre:

Vroman's sounds like a wonderful place to shop! I think you should have bought the latest Jacques Peppin cookbook as a holiday gift for yourself and Diane.

We do a pretty good job of supporting small businesses in our area all year and didn't get out to #shopsmall on Saturday given we still had company.

Good morning chef Endre Barath, Jr. ,

Taking Holly along was a good socializing adventure for all parties! Of course she was going to make friends with everyone! Good to support local businesses on any day of the year!
