Shoppers are even encouraged to shop in their pajamas on Small Business Saturday, according to Discover Doylestown Committee.

“ It’s a way to reinforce that small businesses are more welcoming, cozy, and focused on giving a memorable shopping experience to their customers, as opposed to asking customers to shop at crack of dawn or earlier,” according to the committee.
