BETTENDORF, IOWA (November 25, 2025) — Join the Quad Cities Chamber in the nationwide movement to support small businesses by exploring local shops and markets in the QC during Small Business Saturday on November 29 — and throughout the rest of the year.
“Every dollar spent at a local business right here in the Quad Cities boosts our community, creates and retains jobs and helps our region thrive,” said James Porter, Vice President, Small and Minority Business. “Whether you’re looking for a unique or locally made gift, stopping by your favorite coffee shop or grabbing a delicious dinner at a family-owned restaurant, our small businesses need your support more than ever.”
