November 29 is Small Business Saturday across the nation, where consumers are encouraged to “shop small” (keep an eye out for #shopsmall!) and support local retailers and homegrown restaurants.
South Orange and Maplewood are no different.
To encourage more local spending, the South Orange Village Center Alliance has organized a contest whereby local shoppers can be entered to win $500 in South Orange gift cards simply by spending their dollars in the Village Center.
On Saturday November 29, shoppers who spend $25 or more at a South Orange merchant and then bring their receipts to the Alliance tent on Sloan Street will be entered to win $500 in gift cards from top South Orange merchants. Shoppers get one entry for every $25 spent — so the more you spend, the more chances you have to win!
Visit the South Orange Village Center Alliance website for more information: www.sovillagecenter.org.
In Maplewood, individual merchants within the Springfield Avenue Partnership and the Maplewood Village Alliance will offer refreshments, discounts, specials and services (e.g., free holiday wrapping).
Visit SpringfieldAvenue.com or MaplewoodVillageNJ.com for updates.
