Nov 6, 2026

Small Business Saturday returns on November 28, giving shoppers across Central Pennsylvania a chance to put more of their holiday spending toward the people and places that make their communities feel like home.

Smith Land & Improvement Corporation’s three shopping destinations bring together independent retailers, restaurants, specialty services, and familiar national brands. If you are planning a day of gift shopping, dining, or self-care, Neighbors & Smith, West Shore Plaza, and Silver Creek Plaza offer plenty of ways to choose local.

Located along Market Street in Camp Hill, Neighbors & Smith is a walkable destination filled with distinctive shops and services. Its independently owned businesses make it an especially fitting stop for Small Business Saturday.

Coffee and tea lovers can browse fresh-roasted selections, specialty foods, and gift items at One Good Woman. Live in Color Boutique features furniture, home decor, handmade goods, and pieces from area artisans, while Plum Bottom carries shoes, handbags, and accessories selected from brands around the world.

The plaza also has several locally connected dining options. Visitors can stop for a meal at The Cheesesteak Guy, China Wok, or West Shore Plaza Family Restaurant before continuing with the rest of the day’s plans.

West Shore Plaza will also welcome Mr. and Mrs. Claus on Saturday, November 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. Families can add the meet-and-greet to their Small Business Saturday outing and enjoy a festive afternoon at the center.
