Dexter, Missouri – Black Friday seems to be a national holiday these days with people rushing to get bargains and early bird specials.  Every dollar you spend brings more tax money into the community and buying local means a guaranteed return to your community.

Where we shop, were we eat, and have fun all of it makes our community home!  Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of our distinctive character of Dexter.  Our neighbors, our families and our friends own our local businesses!  They are a part of our lives and they live in our community and are less likely to leave; therefore more invested in the community’s future.

A few area businesses will have wonderful specials this Black Friday.  The Loft and The French Market will open at 7:00 a.m. on Friday with 15% off Christmas, 10% off Storewide and %15 off jewelry.

Weber’s Ben Franklin will open at 7:00 a.m. Friday as well with many specials.  Just stop by and see their wonderful selection of items they have on sale.

Corner Cottage will open at 8:00 a.m. Friday. They are doing a FREE gift for the first 25 customers on Black Friday and on Small Business Saturday they will get special savings if they bring in their Shop Small Tote Bags.

The Metro will have great deals as well on Friday and Saturday.  Christmas ornaments will have an additional 15% off, Spartina Baggllini purses will be 20% off and Alex and Ani Bracelets will be 15% off.

Happy Thanksgiving and remember to shop local first!
