Small Business Saturday at Comet

Thanksgiving is over, and you know what that means—time to start pretending you’re ahead on holiday shopping. Good news: you don’t have to fight big-box crowds or sprint through a parking lot to do it. Milwaukee has got everything you need on a local level.

Why Shop Small Businesses?

Look, shopping online isn’t just “cute.” It actually matters. When you buy local, you’re supporting real humans—your neighbors, your bartenders, your “I see them every Tuesday but still don’t know their name” people. 

Every time you spend a few bucks locally, it actually matters. You’re uplifting the people who live, work, and create right here in Milwaukee. That’s a pretty solid return on a holiday gift, if you ask us.

Also? Local gifts don’t suck. Milwaukee is loaded with makers crafting handmade jewelry, art, soaps, and other stuff your family will actually be excited to open. When your loved ones open these gifts, they won’t have to fake a smile or pretend they “needed one of these.” They’ll actually like it. Imagine that.

Digital Gift cards Are Available Now

Are you running around with a to-do list longer than Santa’s? Same. Luckily, we’ve got digital gift cards you can buy online without even putting on real pants. Shop local from the couch AND feel accomplished? Elite move.

Digital gift cards are redeemable across all Pie Inc. locations (Comet, Honeypie, Palomino, and Smallpie). Just a quick note: they’re redeemable in-store only, so don’t try to sneak them into an online order. We promise the internet will not cooperate.

From all of us at Comet, thanks for keeping it local and helping Milwaukee stay the city we all brag about. Wishing you a cozy and joyful holiday season, filled with minimal amounts of family arguments. Happy holidays, Milwaukee!
