Wolverhampton City Council's deputy leader and cabinet member for economic growth and prosperity Peter Bilson said: "We have a good range of small businesses operating successfully across the city which are all contributing to its continued growth. Small Business Saturday provides us with a focus to celebrate their success and urge more people to support them. Kabanos is another example of a small enterprise which has gone from strength to strength since it opened a year ago."
After winning the Portas Pilot, Kabanos was given business support and advice and was awarded a rent free shop unit for 6 months in addition to a contribution towards business rates to help it set up. The business sells a wide range of Polish products, from cakes to fresh speciality sliced meats.
Small Business Saturday is a national day to highlight the success of small enterprises, urge people to support them and inspire others to set up their own company.
