National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day

National Mom And Pop Business Owners Day is an American holiday dedicated to family businesses. Many parents think about starting their own business to provide for their children. This is a very good solution because it is not only personal but also beneficial for society as a whole. The more businesses there are, the more the economy is stimulated and more jobs are created for people! The holiday is observed annually on March 29.

History

The history of the holiday begins with the Siegel family. The couple founded a small clothing store in 1939, which decades later expanded to an area of 10,000^m2, and its value surpassed 2 million dollars. Their children, Rick and Margie, were grateful for their parents’ hard work and created this celebration in their honor!
