Stay Local & Shop Small
Mark your calendars for Small Business Saturday in Downtown Delray Beach on November 26!
Delray Beach, FL (October 18, 2016)…The main fabric of Downtown Delray Beach is comprised of 93% small business owners, both retail and restaurants, many of whom have had their doors open for over 15 years and one as long as 80. Downtown Delray Beach is a destination to Shop Small. The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is a Neighborhood Champion and encourages residents and visitors to celebrate “the small business” by shopping and dining locally and introducing yourselves to the owners and chefs throughout Downtown. American Express created this national shopping day event for cardholders and merchants to encourage people to shop at small businesses.
With more than 450 unique boutiques, salons, spas, galleries and restaurants, Downtown Delray Beach is a destination to Shop Small. Recent new retail additions to the Downtown include AQUA Swimwear, Bolufe, Mar Blu, VT Studios, and 21 Drops. They join small businesses including Periwinkle, Morley, Love Rich Boutique, Oh My Bod, Margaux Riviera, Just Hearts, The Wine Wave, From Roehm with Love, Monogram Closet, the Spy Store and long-time local businesses Vince Canning Shoes, Avalon Gallery, Murder on the Beach Bookstore, Petite Connection, Hands, Delray Camera Shop, Richwagen’s Delray Bike & Sport, and many more.
