Black Friday is exactly one week away, but some shoppers started their shopping early today by supporting locally owned small businesses.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEVV) — Black Friday is exactly one week away, but some shoppers started their shopping early today by supporting locally owned-small businesses.
Pink Friday is an annual nationwide event dedicated to supporting locally owned-small businesses.
It falls on the Friday before Black Friday, giving shoppers an opportunity to take advantage of deals early while also supporting small and local businesses.
“In years past, the small businesses kind of get the leftovers of Black Friday, so this is a way for people to shop small first by having Pink Friday, the Friday before Black Friday,” says Michelle Couts, Owner of 728 Chic Boutique in Evansville.
Several Tri-State businesses took part including Seperendipity Designs and Decor in Evansville and Landylane Boutique in Henderson.
It’s not only a big push …
