Fayetteville’s Small Business Saturday

Join us in a Fayetteville, while known for its outdoor activities, is a great place to come to shop small all year round. Part of Fayetteville’s unique and vibrant culture is contributed to by a myriad of locally owned independent businesses which support our community. There is something for everyone from our boutiques and antique stores to our adventure shops and more. Many of the shops are walk-to locations in historic downtown making this the perfect town to spend your Small Business Saturday. We will have a Small Business Saturday Welcome Station set up at the Fayetteville Visitor Center. Stop by and grab a map and free shop small swag to get you started.

Fayetteville is a great town for treasure hunting with the New River Antique Mall, D & K Collectables, Enjoyed Again, and The Hobbit Hole – vintage finds are everywhere. Stop by The Hobbit Hole to find a unique gift while you jam out to Bing Crosby, and you can purchase a fresh handmade wreath.

Cruise on over to Wisteria Gifts to find designer bags, home décor, jewelry, and accessories. Wisteria Gift’s will have storewide sales on Small Business Saturday. If you need to take a break grab a coffee at Cathedral Café. If coffee isn’t your thing, get refreshed and fueled up for more shopping with a smoothie from The Raw & Juicy Bar.

Ben Franklin Crafts is a must stop to add to your list with primitives, crafts supplies, wrapping supplies, frames and more. For more interesting and individualized gifts head to The Fox & Hound where you are sure to find home accessories like candles and furniture. Bridge View Candles, which are used by the popular television series Barnwood Builders, will be selling custom candles out of The Fox and Hound. Pick up a pre-made candle or have a custom candle created with your family initials or logo or out of a bottle that holds sentimental value.

Looking for more handmade West Virginia items check out Studio B. Studio B has a large selection of craft beers and wine, sure to please anyone on your Christmas list. If you are not interested in a fine beverage then shop a variety of handcrafted items created by local artists including jewelry, paintings, and knitted goods.

If you’re an adventurer or have one on your Christmas list, we have Waterstone Outdoors, Ace Adventure Gear, and New River Gear and Gifts. Waterstone Outdoors, a long-standing outdoor shop and community hub, will be having a sale. For bikes and bicycle accessories check out New River Bikes.

Make it a full day getaway! After shopping, you deserve to treat yourself to lunch or dinner at one of our local restaurants including Secret Sandwich Society, Pies & Pints, The Wood Iron Eatery, Southside Junction Taphouse, The Station, and Firecreek Grill & BBQ. We hope to see you this November 24^th!
