The name "Plaid Friday" was conceived from the idea of weaving the individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses.
Plaid Friday is the fun and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday,” and is designed promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.
Plaid Friday was conceptualized in Oakland, CA, a city known for strong shop local campaigns. Plaid Friday strives to bring back the days when shopping for friends and family during the holidays was a pleasurable and leisurely activity.
Help us celebrate by wearing plaid while shopping at participating businesses in Wellsboro on Friday, November 29th. Look for the special plaid placards at your local shops. Many of these businesses are offering specials during Plaid Friday.
Let's start a new Wellsboro tradition, celebrating our small businesses, celebrating our beautiful downtown, and reminding ourselves of all the benefits of shopping local!
