Soon after the last of the turkey and stuffing leftovers have been consumed, Downtown Marquette businesses will be gearing up for the holiday shopping season. Small Business Saturday, November 25, is a great opportunity to explore independently owned businesses for the perfect gift for your loved ones. Take advantage of the extensive knowledge and expertise of the downtown business owners and employees; they are more than willing to offer advice to help you make the best purchasing decision. Marquette’s Downtown District covers Third Street from Fair Avenue to Baraga Avenue, Front Street from Ridge to Baraga Avenue, Washington Street from Seventh Street to Lakeshore Boulevard, Spring Street from Third to Lakeshore Boulevard, and Baraga Avenue from Third Street to Lakeshore Boulevard. With a huge variety of shops within the district, you will be able to find something for even the most discerning person on your list. Sources tell us that 60 cents of every dollar spent with an independent retailer is retained in the community, compared to 6 cents per dollar spent at a big box store. Shopping locally significantly impacts the local economy. Your dollars help to make Marquette’s Downtown District strong!
