Downtown Ferndale Full of Deals for Small Business Saturday Nov. 26
(EVENT page)
FERNDALE, MI – The movement to support local communities by shopping local has taken hold across the country, but few places are more committed to this effort than here in Oakland County. Downtown Ferndale is responding to this support by offering shoppers amazing deals and specials as a “thank you” for support year-round, as well as a way to earn rewards while you shop. When consumers shop local, roughly 68 cents of every dollar is reinvested back into the local community, meaning that shopping local isn’t only good for the business, but for the community as a whole.
On Saturday, November 26, more than 40 Downtown Ferndale retailers, restaurants, and service providers will participate in Small Business Saturday, making sure that no matter who you have on your list, you can find them something perfect in Downtown Ferndale. Parking is free for the day, courtesy of the City of Ferndale. The fun kicks off with our Shop Small Welcome Station, located in the Rust Belt Market from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Pick up a list of participating businesses and their specials, your #shopsmall canvas tote, and a Scavenger Hunt map! Solve the clues and be entered to win prizes from participating businesses each week through Merry Moonlight Madness on December 15th! Oakland County is getting in the act, too! Make a purchase, text “Shop2016” to 41411, register, take a photo of your receipt, submit and you’re eligible to win prizes up to $5,000! So, start your day with brunch, a trip to the Welcome Station and then start shopping at the following participating businesses:
