LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – More than 150 small businesses from Lubbock and the surrounding area are preparing for the biggest shopping weekend of the year at KK\u2019s Corner Mall.<\/p>\n
The mall features vendors selling everything from clothing to home decor, natural products, artisan crafts and kitchen supplies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really are like one big family,\u201d said Kristi Frazier, who does KK\u2019s marketing.<\/p>\n
Some of the mall\u2019s vendors offer gift baskets, engraving and monogramming services for shoppers. Vendors will offer specials and discounted booths from Black Friday through Small Business Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
Frazier says shopping at the mall supports real people in the community, including a nurse who uses her booth as a side business and a woman with cancer who relies on sales for income.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt matters because it\u2019s their job, and so just like we have jobs, this is their job,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cAnd whether it means extra money for their kids for sports, for food, for bills, whatever, it\u2019s their job. But when you support local, it keeps your money local.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frazier says the vendors understand customers face rising costs in their everyday lives and work to keep prices fair.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it\u2019s not like you\u2019re going to walk in and get price-gouged. Everybody is very conscious of it, they really want to make sure that they keep the prices, you know, equal and good,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She said KK\u2019s Corner Mall has maintained steady business as a Lubbock staple.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople just know us, and so when they come in, we haven\u2019t really missed a beat. And I\u2019m so thankful for that,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cSo, if I could say anything to the people of Lubbock and surrounding, thank you. Because it really, it helps support my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
