Top Local Shops To Visit On Black Friday In South Florida

Black Friday is only a day, so the best way to shop is to plan ahead. The sales at local shops are much more special than at national and international chains as the discounts are often fewer and farther in between. These boutiques offer apparel and accessories for the entire family, toys and even jewelry at a range price points. The 2012 Black Friday focus was on the best deals and 2013 focuses on the best local shops to enjoy the promotion.
