Local shops happy with business on Black Friday 2020

BOWLING GREEN Ky.-While many people have taken to shop online for Black Friday deals this year, plenty are still shopping the old-fashioned way, in person.

Bigger operations like Best Buy have taken measures to reduce crowding in stores this Black Friday. Locally owned businesses in Bowling Green like Barbara Stewart Interiors have done the same.

At 9 a.m. Friday, people were already shopping right at opening time to support the local shop. These businesses are limiting the number of people in the store at once to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.

Mellow Matt’s Music and More is another example of a local shop that had people looking for local black Friday deals right away. Some local business owners say they weren’t surprised by the community’s willingness to shop local.

Depending on the business, the number of people allowed in a particular store at any given time will vary.
