Happy Thanksgiving! Will you be celebrating Plaid Friday?
Plaid Friday is an alternative to Black Friday – it’s a fun way to show your support for local small businesses.
It’s easy…
Wear plaid as you shop and dine at small businesses in the 253-area code on the Friday after Thanksgiving – and throughout the holiday season!
Then, when someone compliments your plaid ensemble, tell them about going plaid in support of neighborhood small biz.
When we shop and dine locally – rather than from national chains or online megacorps – more of each dollar stays in our communities.
Here are a few of my favorite places to shop during the holidays. Look for me to be wearing plaid:
During the Tacoma Haul Crawl at Stocklist Goods
In Freighthouse Station at Adorned Abode
Along Tacoma’s 6th Ave, at Komadre Kombucha and Jade & Co.
At Paper Luxe in Fircrest and Gig Harbor
On Tacoma’s N 21st Street for La Paloma’s Lazy Sunday Market
Wandering the stalls of Waterfront Market at Ruston
In Proctor at the Pacific Northwest Shop
Browsing wares from local artisans & makers at the Tacoma Night Market
These are some of my regular haunts, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg…
Keep your eyes peeled for independently-owned businesses as you travel across the 253, and pop in to check out places that catch your eye.
