After Black Friday, Support Small Business Saturday
November 20, 2017After getting their fill on turkey, many holiday shoppers wake up early to fill their shopping carts with holiday deals. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, but discounts can also be found at a lesser-known shopping occasion — one that puts your dollars right back into your local neighborhood.
The retail scene around your Chestnut Square apartment is booming, and many shops are independently owned, some for decades. With the rise of Amazon and other online retails, family-owned shops face steep challenges, which can be lessened with your support of Small Business Saturday.
So sleep in on Black Friday and bring your holiday shopping lists to these local shops:
A Taste of Olive: You haven’t had olive oil until you’ve had it from A Taste of Olive! The specialty shop, four blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, will have you checking off the foodies on your list with its extensive collection of olive oils, glazes and spices.
Veruzka: From jewelry and accessories to purses and home goods, all the ladies in your life will love a gift from Veruzka, two blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment.
Jane Chalfant: This business, four blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, has more than 80 years of experience in the fashion industry and provides chic, sophisticated styles. With such a long history in West Chester, Jane Chalfant is a prime example of the success of independently owned business.
Kaplans Fine Jewelry: Kaplans, four blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, has specialized in custom-designed jewelry for more than 25 years. From diamond engagement rings to unique necklaces and bracelets, Kaplans can help you create the perfect holiday gift for your loved one.
Second Reading: Give a book while giving back to your community! Resale book shop Second Reading, three blocks from your Chestnut Square apartment, donates proceeds to the West Chester Area Senior Center. With hundreds of titles across all genres, you can check off the book lovers on your shopping list while supporting local seniors.
