It Seems Ridiculous!
July recognizes Independent Retailer Month, and we're celebrating this month by visiting many of our independent retailers for another round of Facebook Live videos to showcase some of their products and recognize the uniqueness they bring to our community each and every day. You can follow us on social and tune into our Facebook page every day this month (and part of next!) as we highlight our retailers as part of this effort.
While we're talking independent retailers, I hope you have plans to do some shopping this weekend in Grinnell. After all, if it seems like a ridiculously good deal, it probably is! Many of our Grinnell merchants are hosting Grinnell's Ridiculous Day this Saturday, July 17. While Ridiculous Day may look and feel different to many of you who have experienced the event for many years, the concept is still the same - support locally owned businesses. These small businesses need our support every day, and are excited to share some of their inventory with you at ridiculously low prices for one-day only this weekend.
We encourage you to shop Grinnell this weekend. Whether at ridiculously low prices, or full price items, it offers a great opportunity to support small businesses. Far after this weekend, I hope you'll keep our independently owned retailers (and all small businesses!) in mind for all your shopping and dining needs.
