Shop Local in Prospect Heights
There's great holiday shopping right in the neighborhood, and many retailers are having sales to get you in the door.
Today is turkey day, but tomorrow is the beginning of the holiday shopping season.
Local shops hope you'll remember them, too, and have created "Small Business Saturday" as a follow-up to Black Friday. They're asking each person to buy one thing from a locally owned retailer on Nov. 26.
Luckily there are plenty of great places to work on your holiday list right in Prospect Heights and many of them are having sales.
