< 1 minute read
Savannah, GA – t’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for many of Savannah’s small businesses.
Several local merchants reported strong weekend sales, in part due to Small Business Saturday, a shopping holiday aimed at spreading consumer dollars beyond big retail stores on Black Friday.
“Friday was a real blockbuster day,” said Chris Blaker, a store clerk at The Book Lady Bookstore on Liberty Street. Last year, he said, Black Friday was not as busy downtown. “Saturday was good, but I expected it to be busier than Friday. It was switched.”
