In the heart of Dickinson, several local shops are offering attractive discounts and unique experiences. Studio 9 Designs, freshly relocated to a prime downtown spot, is celebrating its ninth anniversary with a generous 29% off all Christmas decor, furniture, and wall hangings. Shoppers can enjoy complimentary mimosas and iced sugar cookies while browsing.

Just a stone’s throw away, the newly opened 701 Chic Boutique is enticing visitors with a gift bag and January purchase coupons, perfectly aligning with their motto: “Confident. Curvy. Chic.” Over at Saucy Blonde Boutique, shoppers can take advantage of a limited-time ‘buy one, get one 30% off’ special.
As local businesses compete for attention, Dickinson also welcomes two major retailers that have opened recently. Traffic reports from the Stark Development Corporation indicate a surge in visitors, with TJ Maxx seeing a notable increase in foot traffic. Additionally, neighboring Harbor Freight has attracted over 130,000 visitors since its grand opening.
The impact of Small Business Saturday is significant. According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), approximately 36 million small businesses make up 99% of all U.S. businesses. A recent survey conducted by Teneo on behalf of American Express reveals that small businesses could see up to 20% of their annual revenue generated from this crucial shopping day.
Despite the mounting competition, local shops are eager to make an impact. The SBA estimates that national spending at local merchants on Small Business Saturday could reach an impressive $22 billion in 2024, highlighting the importance of this day for small retailers nationwide.
Shoppers are urged to take advantage of these exciting offers and support their local businesses. With both festive experiences and vital economic contributions at stake, every purchase matters this Small Business Saturday. Don’t miss out—head downtown and be part of the celebration!
