To support that theme, Downtown shop owners encourage shoppers to think outside the “big box” and sleep in on the day after Thanksgiving. Shops will be opening at 10 a.m. on Friday, to allow shoppers a good night’s sleep, just before coming to Doylestown to shop small.

Some of the businesses that are planning special offers include Busy Bee Toys, Monkey's Uncle, Olive Oil Etcetera, Estate Boutique, Sesame China Bistro & T-swirl Crep and more.
