CHAMPAIGN -- It's small business Saturday and owners are hoping for local support. Jos. Kuhn and Co. has been downtown since 1907.

The locally-owned store sells men's clothing. Our own Mr. Roberts was a regular here. The manager says local business is what keeps this store afloat.

"People like seeing these businesses around. But I mean, just because they like seeing it around, if they don't support us, it's difficult to say if we'll even be around next Christmas," said manager Gordon Tracey.

There are more than 1 million small businesses in Illinois.
