Toy Market To Celebrate Small Business Saturday In Galloway, Hammonton

Toy Market will be celebrating Small Business Saturday in both Downtown Hammonton and Historic Smithville on Saturday, Nov. 26.

Small Business Saturday was first observed in 2010. It is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

However, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small, local and independently owned on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and throughout the holiday season.

Toy Market was one of the first businesses in the nation to participate in Small Business Saturday and has continued its efforts ever since.

In Smithville, the store will offer 20 percent off any one item in the store, a chance to win a $100 gift card and other specials and giveaways.

The day will be capped with Smithville’s Free Light Show, featuring more than 120 Christmas trees with 50,000 lights magically floating on the lake in the center of the village.

Historic Smithville is a charming destination filled with 60 shops, 7 eateries, on site lodging, a train, and carousel.

In Downtown Hammonton, Toy Market will offer 20 percent off any single item in the entire store, along with other specials.

Adding to the day’s festivities are three brand new small businesses that just opened their doors to the public in Downtown Hammonton: Funky Cow, which is a fresh, fast casual restaurant; Tales of the Olive, offering gourmet olive oils, chocolates and more; and Herban Legend, specializing in Fair Trade merchandise from around the world.

Toy Market was just voted South Jersey Magazine’s Best Toy Shop in 2016.

“As our small business expands, we always try to open in locations like Downtown Hammonton and Historic Smithville,” Toy Market owner Kelly Donio said. “It really lets us be a part of a community of small businesses and independent shops like ours. We can help promote each other and it offers a better experience for everyone who visits.”
