11A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2016 Black Friday: ‘It’s absolutely the most important time of year for us’ Continued from Page 1A box stores, which isn’t true.” Appliances and mattresses are among the current items with the biggest discounts. During the dead of winter, the flowers are in full bloom for one corner floral shop. “December is generally our best month of the year,” said Bloomin’ Crazy Flo- ral owner Diane Berry. “It’s a significant jump over our best summer month.” But it’s not poinsettias that adorn store shelves during the hol- idays. Instead it’s boutique gifts and unique flowers such as pincushion proteas, as smaller florists seek to diver- sify stock and get more cre- ative to compete with big- box stores. Down the street, another small business is gearing up for own rendition of holiday rock. “It’s absolutely the most important time of the year for us,” said Rick Holt, owner of Thiel’s Music. “We rely a lot on the holiday sea- son to get us through the slow months.” Entry-level guitars are especially pop- ular during the holidays, according to Holt, who also offers lessons on-site. While springtime and cruise ships bring the big- gest crowds, secondhand stores see a spike in business during the holidays. “While people are out shopping for others, some- times they want to treat themselves a little bit,” said Alicia Phifer, owner of the The Fox & The Fawn, a consignment boutique at 1008 Commercial St. “And because it’s secondhand, they don’t feel like they’re buying a big thing for them- selves at a time when they need to spend money on others.” For a lot of businesses in Astoria, “Black Friday” is sec- ondary to “Plaid Friday” and “Small Business Saturday” — alternative campaigns that aimed at encouraging shop- pers to buy local and promote small businesses during the holiday season. The big-box Black Fri- day experience can still be found on Commercial Street, however. 70 Help Wanted 80 Work Wanted SHOP FOREMAN/ MANAGER NOTICE: Oregon Landscape Contractors Law (ORS 671) requires all businesses that advertise landscape contracting services be licensed with the Landscape Contractors Board.

Black Friday, Plaid Friday and Small Business Saturday “We get crazy busy — lined up to the isle busy,” said Chris Hoffman, operations supervi- sor at J.C. Penny in Astoria. “Traditionally, everyone goes to Fred Meyer to get their socks because they open up an hour before we do, then they come here.” Hoffman antici- pates the busiest rush between 9 and 10 a.m. “If I had to pick something that we sell a lot of that’s also a good bargain for, it’s sleep pants — kids, men, women — you name it,” she said. 100 Employment Information *ATTENTION READERS * Readers respond to mail/phone order ads at their own risk.
