After closing his boutique San Francisco shoe store early on Black Friday, the owner is hopeful business will pick up on Small Business Saturday.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The owner of Dantone Milano in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood said he planned to close his doors early on Black Friday. "Because everyone goes to chain stores for the deep discounts but, because we don't do that, we only get our regular customers and sometimes the tourist," said Farzad Arjmand."Black Friday doesn't really mean anything to us."Small stores like his don't have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to pricing.
It's estimated that slightly more gift buyers are likely to shop on Small Business Saturday than Black Friday this year, according to Bankrate.com. Arjmand said most of his shoes range from $100 to $400. He's seeing a lot of hesitation among customers these days.
