After getting their fill on turkey, many 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 Dalian on the Park 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:

 

The Wardrobe: The boutique resale space, two blocks from your Dalian on the Park apartment, offers gently used clothes at a great price. To make the deal even sweeter, proceeds benefit women in need.

 

Fairmount Running Company: Get the runner in your life geared up for winter workouts at Fairmount Running Company, three blocks from your Dalian on the Park apartment. Find top-of-the-line running shoes and, if you’re shopping for yourself, getting fitted in store, as well as grab some accessories to make your next run a success.

 

HOME Spun: Support the community while getting a head start on your holiday shopping. The resale shop sells everything from clothes and accessories to art and jewelry. The store is staffed by clients of Project HOME, which works to end homelessness, and all proceeds support their wages and the organization’s work.

 

Bookhaven: Two floors of finds await you at Bookhaven, four blocks from your Dalian on the Park apartment. Browse the titles for some holiday gifts, or grab a few for yourself and relax in the comfy chairs while you support a local independent bookseller.

 

Division IV: Explore a unique collection of home goods and gifts at Division IV. Six blocks from your Dalian on the Park apartment, the store specializes in urban décor, so grab some goodies for yourself while checking off your shopping lit.
