Shoe Thrill Celebrates 6 Years in Downtown Chandler!

Living close to Downtown Chandler means local shops and businesses are just a hop, skip and jump away!

Shoe Thrill is known for “Comfort and Style Elevated”, which means they offer a vast array of shoes that are both comfortable and unique.  Dansko is a part of their curated selection of shoes, and I can attest to just how great they look and feel because I own a pair myself (post here)!

Here is all of the information on their Saturday soiree:

Record Store Day Black Friday & Small Business Saturday

The Thanksgiving weekend is always bustling with family, good friends and even better food, but it also means some kind of sale is going on.  Typically, we’re in Las Vegas and my mother-in-law and I head out in the extreme early morning to take advantage of doorbusters at places like Target or Walmart.  This year, we’re here in San Diego, and last night, my husband and I actually went out after dinner and braved our local mall.  He wanted to take advantage of some Funko Pop exclusives at Game Stop and it was just as busy as if it were a regular weekend.  It was a bit much, and we headed home after just a round at the mall.

Although I won’t be giving into the craziness that is Black Friday, something we definitely have taken advantage of is Record Store Day’s version of this shopping holiday and participating in Small Business Saturday.

I am such an advocate of shopping locally and showing the businesses in my local community love and support.  You can do the same by shopping small on Saturday and giving back to the community we live in by participating in Small Business Saturday.
