Black Friday may be one of the biggest shopping days of the year, but customers have been able to kick-start their holiday shopping season on a day celebrating the uniqueness, charm, and economic impact that small businesses bring to communities nationwide. Taking place the Saturday following Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday was created to encourage consumers to support local, small businesses within their communities.
On Saturday, November 26th we invite you to #ShopPlano. The Downtown Plano Arts District is a great place to start your day of shopping. The charming brick-lined streets offer a little something for everyone. There are several fabulous boutiques selling handmade jewelry, home decor, clothing, children’s clothing, accessories, antiques, and so much more. You can find a complete list of shopping options in Downtown Plano here.
With all that shopping, you’re bound to work up an appetite. Grab your morning coffee from Fourteen Eighteen Coffeehouse or enjoy a hot breakfast at Plano Kitchen & Bar. From Mexican food to wood-fired pizza, your lunch and dinner options are endless. Find a complete list of unique Downtown Plano dining options here.
Once you have shopped downtown, head west to The Shops at Legacy to shop at chic boutiques like Julep, Ella Bleu, Blinc, and the Culinary Connection; you can also stop for a lunch or dinner break at the numerous restaurants like Mexican Sugar, Kenny’s Smokehouse and the new Fearing’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.
