Local businesses appeal to their customers on Black Friday
<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Boutique stores in the Glebe are marking Black Friday by sending a message to bigger box stores: local businesses are not afraid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some stores are embracing the day for the first time, while others continue their tradition of offering discounts to their customers. One store shut its doors in protest of the excessive consumerism associated with the day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This year Purple Urchin Soap, which sells handmade soaps and beauty products, is experimenting with a Black Friday sale for the first time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to test it out and see how it works,\u201d said Shelby-lyn Miller, the store\u2019s marketing manager.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The store puts an emphasis on supporting local and sustainable businesses and sees Black Friday as an opportunity to grow as a small business.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The store began seeing online sales as early as 7 a.m. Friday, hours before the shop opened its doors at 11 a.m.
