With Black Friday and Shop Small Saturday right around the corner, local Bainbridge businesses are preparing their stores for shoppers and sales to boot.

In order to accompany everyone, Reeves Gifts, Jewelry and More will be opening an hour early at 9 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. The first 25 customers will receive a gift card that they can use to shop. There will be a storewide discount of 15% off with all Christmas décor being marked down to 40% off.

Right across the way, Bella’s Boutique will be discounting everything in the store to 20% off and Reese and Company will be discounting everything in the store to 25% off.

Flint River Outfitters is also discounting one of their specialty items in the gunroom. They are offering a Stoeger M3000 Max 5 28” barrel regularly priced at $549 for $474 with a $75 consumer rebate, totaling at the final price of $399.

Along with discounted items, gift card specials have become increasingly popular on this shopping holiday weekend.

J. Christine Esthetique will be selling gift card packages for a discounted price throughout the holiday season. Customers can choose from the nail package, which includes a spa manicure and pedicure for $60 or a signature facial gift card for $70. Although they have already been discounted, the spa will be giving customers an additional $5 off on Black Friday and offer other discounted packages on Shop Small Saturday.

The American will be offering a discount to customers who spend $100 on gift cards. For every $100 spent, they will receive $10 off or get a $10 gift card.

These shops and restaurants are excited to open their doors to everyone Friday and Saturday and they hope everyone will shop local and take advantage of the specials being offered.
