“I feel with small businesses, particularly in downtown Winter Garden, these are the heartbeat of the community. We’re here and we’re open the same day that other big businesses are, and our focus is just engaging with people and being your friendly neighborhood plant store,” mentioned Kristen Robinson, of LiveTrends.
With Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole hitting Central Florida this yr, Robinson defined simply how that affected some consumers.
“We saw a little bit — kind of right after the storms, obviously, people are working on rebuilding where they’re at. This area got a lot of flooding and power outages so there were some days directly after the storms that there was a little bit slower traffic,” Robinson mentioned.
At the Ancient Olive Gourmet, workers are prepared to supply some “tasty” reductions for Small Business Saturday.
“For this weekend, we are doing a sale on all of our balsamic vinegars, except for the 16-millimeter sizes,” mentioned Scott Brown, of The Ancient Olive Gourmet.
Brown mentioned there are six shops in Central and North Florida, and he defined the way it’s essential to offer a reference to prospects.
“We have our regulars that come in. We contact them when we get products that they know they’re going to like. It’s developing that relationship to be a part of the community and be a part of the town here,” Brown mentioned.
