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.

“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.
