Don't Forget Small Business Saturday
If you spent Black Friday at big box stores, head to Doylestown Saturday to support the local merchants.
Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and more try to lure shoppers in on Black Friday with major discounts.
But the merchants of Doylestown hope shoppers are ready to slow down and enjoy a more relaxed shopping atmosphere, along with personalized service.
It's Small Business Saturday, a national movement to try to drive business to locally owned stores.
