Although its historic downtown is at a crossroads, parts of Saco are in a growth mode. Like many towns in Maine, the U.S. Route 1 corridor has been booming of late, with retail and restaurant additions.

Saco Maine Street celebrated Small Business Saturday on Nov. 28 in a big way.
The third annual “Shop Small” event was held outside this year in the courtyard next to the Saco Scoop. Along with the Saco Bucks give-away the day featured a huge, fuzzy, inflated teddy bear whose arms moved to hug both young and old for a fun photo opportunity, and festive Christmas music. Even Mayor Bill Doyle, joined in.
Held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the organization gave away free $5 Saco Bucks Certificates which were sponsored by many local businesses.
