As we celebrate the start of the new year (and get ready for Fig’s 20th anniversary!)—we can’t help but look back on another incredible year of championing Lancaster City as we tell the stories of the small businesses and organizations who make this city a special place to call home. In 2025, let’s all make a commitment to supporting our neighbors by loving local and investing in this community!

As we all spend time together with friends and family today, we are taking a moment of thanks for this place we call home. Lancaster City is full of creative entrepreneurs and passionate business owners who make it extra special—including the independent retailers who have spent the week gearing up for the days ahead! Show your appreciation for their hard work by using your Lancaster City Retail Guide and make a commitment to shop local for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. Happy Thanksgiving from Fig—we’ll see you in the city this weekend!
