The celebration is taking place May 1-7, 2022, as proclaimed by Governor Tom Wolf. "The commonwealth is home to more than 1 million small businesses that employ about 2.5 million workers, and we are celebrating them during this special week," said Acting Sec. Weaver. "I encourage every Pennsylvanian to take Small Business Week as an opportunity to support their favorite local businesses by visiting, shopping online, providing positive online reviews and recommendations, and tagging them on social media. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, so let's do all that we can to support them this week, and every week."
