Enjoy Your Holiday Shopping Experience This Year
Merchants in Downtown New Port Richey Offer Small Business Saturday Deals and Stress-Free Shopping
Consumers have more choices for holiday shopping than ever before in history. Online sales are booming because it’s easy and less stressful than fighting your way through traffic on US 19. I get it. I shop online too. But, what are we missing out on by shopping at home? The experience of chatting with store owners who are a wealth of knowledge about their products or services, bumping into friends and neighbors, chatting about what’s happening in your community and feeling like part of that community. These experiences enrich our lives and give us a sense of belonging that so many people are missing. So what if you had the option of a pleasant experience and access to unique gift ideas? Wouldn’t it be nice to make holiday shopping a fun experience again?
Fortunately, you have that opportunity this year thanks to the merchants in downtown New Port Richey who will be ready and waiting for you to shop small this Small Business Saturday (November 24th.) In addition to retail stores with unique gifts that will make you the talk of your family & friends this year, there are five free City parking lots conveniently located around the downtown core and several restaurants and brewpubs to help you maintain your shopping stamina.
You also get the benefit of feeling good about supporting small, independently owned businesses. Did you know that the dollars you spend at locally owned businesses stay in the local economy longer than those spent at chains and big box stores? So not only are you giving awesome gifts to your loved ones, you are contributing to a thriving local economy that, in turn, makes for a stronger, more vibrant community. That’s a big win/win in my book!
