Imagine walking into your favorite restaurant. As you open the door, the staff greets you with a smile:
“Hi [Your Name], how have you been? Are the kids doing well? I know Molly just started kindergarten this year. How is she liking it?”
Before you even sit down, you find yourself in a warm 5-10 minute conversation. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming—like being at home. When it’s time to order, no one even asks for your preference. Instead, they smile and say, “The usual?” You reply with a grin, “Sounds amazing. Tell Chef Michael I say hello.”
Have you ever experienced this? This is the magic of small businesses—they treat you like family.
At LGC, we are inspired by these connections every day. It’s why we celebrate Small Business Saturday every year—to honor the role small businesses play in fostering relationships, building community, and creating experiences that feel like home.
What is Small Business Saturday?
Small Business Saturday was created by American Express in 2010 to encourage shopping local during the busiest retail season of the year. At LGC, this holiday resonates deeply with us because small business values are woven into the fabric of our culture. We are passionate about uplifting local businesses and supporting community events, whether by collaborating with our partners or celebrating the vibrant neighborhoods we work in.
Relationships Are at the Heart of LGC
Since our founding in 2003, building trusted relationships has been at the core of everything we do. For us, relationships aren’t just professional—they’re personal. In the hospitality industry, where service is everything, we strive to embody the warmth and connection small businesses are known for.
Whether it’s dropping off a latte as a thank-you, bringing beignets during check-ins, or helping you solve a challenge, we go the extra mile because your satisfaction is our top priority.
While LGC isn’t a small business, we work with countless local restaurants, hotels, and event spaces across the country, partnering with them to create memorable experiences for their guests. Our commitment to community is further strengthened by our brick-and-mortar offices in major cities like Nashville, Dallas, and Las Vegas, where our team members are local to the area. That way, when you have a question or concern, you can speak directly with someone who understands your unique challenges.
Celebrate Small Businesses This Holiday Season
This Small Business Saturday, take the opportunity to support the local businesses that make your community special. Attend local events, shop small, and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of your hometown.
At LGC, we’re proud to celebrate the people and businesses who make hospitality a warm and welcoming experience. Thank you for being a part of our story.
