It may be tempting to run to the big-box stores, shopping malls and Amazon for your annual Black Friday shopping. There’s nothing wrong with making a stop at Target or grabbing an online order for Cyber Monday, but shopping local is always a good call! Supporting local businesses means circulating money through the local economy and supporting small business owners during the holidays.
Add these Delaware businesses to your Black Friday shopping itinerary to take advantage of deals you don’t want to miss.
