Old Town Boutiques Offer 'Black Friday' Discounts

Shop Local Alexandria project seeks to lure shoppers to the smaller, more specialized stores.

The Shop Local Alexandria project has coordinated Black Friday early-bird hours and discounts at dozens of independently owned stores to lure shoppers away from big box stores. Two dozen retailers in Old Town Alexandria will open at 6 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 25, with discounts on all merchandise starting at 30 percent off. As the morning continues, the discounts will decrease.

From 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., shoppers will enjoy 30 percent off; from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., discounts will drop to 20 percent; and 10 a.m. to close, customers enjoy 10 percent off. Additional stores will be offering sales and special promotions throughout the day.
