Almo Expands Small Business Saturday Event

National CE and appliance distributor Almo Corp. is promising a bigger and better Small Business Saturday for its retail customers when it brings back the popular white-goods promotion for a return engagement on Nov. 28.

The program, based on American Express’s four-year-old celebration of local Main Street businesses, provides special discounts to Almo’s independent majap dealers, which they in turn can pass on to consumers on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

The exclusive promotion is supported by Samsung, Frigidaire, LG, Sharp and Haier, who’ve kicked in $100,000 to help offset delivery and installation expenses on qualifying transactions.
