Edwards: Shop local this holiday season in Peoria

Posted

I encourage Willow District residents to support locally owned and operated businesses such as Ray's Pizza, Top Shelf Mexican Restaurant, and Mochilero this holiday season.

When you have a choice, shop and spend local!

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are Nov. 26, Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, respectively.

For every service performed in Peoria or Peoria handcrafted clothing, jewelry, home décor item or more that is purchased, local residents benefit. Sales tax helps fund public safety, libraries, parks, recreation programs, and various human and neighborhood services.

To find a list of local businesses with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday deals, go to visitpeoriaaz.com/shoplocal.
