Shop small, shop local this weekend and beyond

Support small and shop local at Lake Lorraine on Black Friday (Nov. 28) and Small Business Saturday (Nov. 29)! Join the Facebook event to stay up-to-date on all the deals and savings!

Lake Lorraine businesses are offering great deals in a relaxed shopping atmosphere to kick off the holiday shopping season. The development offers a great mix of national retailers and local businesses with plenty of easy, free parking.

Shopping is an experience. And for shoppers at Lake Lorraine, it’s great to be able to hit one spot and check off items from the shopping list. When you shop local, you get that personal touch and can often interact with the owner — you don’t get that online. Want help finding something special? Our shop owners will help find the right size and the right gift for someone.

Even more importantly, wherever you’re shopping at the lifestyle center, your dollars stay local. When you buy local, that local business buys from other local businesses, which keeps money in the economy, creating a revolving turnover of local dollars. Local businesses utilize local services, supplies and employees; employees and owners spend wages locally; and that local business pays taxes here, which funds schools, infrastructure, services and more.  

Shopping small and shopping local keeps our businesses open. Black Friday and Small Business Saturday take place on just one weekend. Great, local experiences can be found year-round — so let’s to support them year-round, too!
