The Pasadena Playhouse District Association and its members are asking Pasadenans to stay offline on Saturday, November 26, and support local businesses by visiting real “live” brick-and-mortar stores in the District this holiday shopping weekend. There will be deals and prizes, too.
Shoppers who visit any four businesses included in Shopping Specials or Dining Deals on Shop Small, Shop Indie promotion can enter to win a $300 Amex Gift Card. You can also take part in the Snap, Share & Win contest by taking a selfie or picture of your purchases at your favorite Playhouse District small business and tagging #shopsmallplayhouse @playhousedistrict on Instagram.
District officials there’s plenty of “swag” and free tote bags for early bird shoppers.
With over 30 businesses participating, shoppers on “Shop Small, Shop Indie” have great options for finding the perfect unique gift for friends and family and receive special discounts in their favorite neighborhood businesses.
Discounts will be offered, anywhere from 10 percent, such as when you purchase from Galeria Gabrie and Jacob Maarse Florist, to 50 percent off bargain books at Archives Bookshop and your future wedding or evening dress from Connie Tao Designs.
