Banish the grueling big store lines
Shopping local has become a trend of sorts. And in the best way possible. People increasingly understand the importance of keeping it local and putting dollars back into the stores that make Lafayette the unique shopping destination that it is. Yet, it's on days like Black Friday when sales are abundant that people forget their beloved shops and head to stand in those vicious lines at Wal-Whatever. If it's deals you're looking for, however, you can still keep it local and save some dough on Black Friday.
Efforts like Shop Lafayette aim to keep your mind right here at home and offer a one stop for deals and steals in town.
"Shop Lafayette by Lafayette Travel was launched to create awareness of Lafayette Parish as a shopping destination, specifically during the months of November and December," says LCVC top man Ben Berthelot.
And so, in the spirit of keeping it local, this IND Styler has a round up of some of the very best in sales around town. For more sales and more info about Shop Lafayette head to their event on Facebook here.
