Residents are encouraged to buy local as many choose to shop on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. Sarah Treft with the Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance tells KRLS News that dollars spent locally stay local, bolstering cities and schools through taxes. Treft says the investment also keeps unique retail in the local area, and there are many one-of-a-kind shopping opportunities in Pella. Many local businesses in the Tulip City will be offering deals for Small Business Saturday this weekend.
