Merchants of Downtown : Lake Worth
The MOD Squad
Ten NEW Reasons to Shop Lake Worth
Black Friday and Small Business Saturday
All Day and All Evening
Friday, November 29 & Saturday, November 30
Small towns often suffer during the holiday season,
deserted by the masses for the large malls; lured by glossy ads and non-stop
commercials. The Merchants and
Restaurants of Downtown Lake Worth (The MOD Squad) are fighting back. Downtown Lake Worth vows to take back the
crowds with extraordinary wares, great pricing, quality merchandise and
exceptional food and entertainment.
Top Ten reasons to shop Downtown Lake Worth on Black
Friday and Small Business Saturday:
- You pay local merchant prices rather than the high mark-ups of the malls. Most of shops are mom and pop owned.
- There are unique, one of a kind gifts rather than the mass-produced products one sees coming and going; those gifts that are everywhere and on every commercial. Our gifts stand out as special.
- You will find Artist-run galleries with affordable works of art for the home, the table, to wear and to admire. Works of art direct from the artist to you.
- Specialty shops abound with gifts from all over the world and gifts made right here in the United States. Teas, soaps, jewelry, toys, costumes, decorations, chocolates, clothing. Find unusual gifts for your pets as well.
- Forget the food courts with their unhealthy trans-fat foods. Lake Worth has bakeries, café after café and restaurant after restaurant for you to stop into, rest your weary toes and gear up for another round of shopping.
- Stop for a music break on the streets as each corner has local musicians, from folk to blues to jazz to Caribbean drumming. Have your caricature painted, or watch artists as they create unique works.
- Lake Worth is known for its shops filled with collectables and antiques. They come in every price range. For decades folks have been discovering Lake Worth and its unusual antiquing experience.
- Tis the holiday season to wander through an Americana, Old Fashioned town. Window shop, enjoy the competition between shop keepers to make their window the most festive, see a wonderful movie, visit the theater and feel like you have fallen into a modern day Norman Rockwell painting.
- Parking is ample and free with four hour limits during the day and unlimited late afternoon and evenings. Bring your treasures to the car and go back for more. Lake Worth has a great Sheriff’s Department patrolling and protecting your purchases.
- Your pockets will have plenty of green protruding when you leave the scene. Use that to take the kids to the beach.
The Merchants of Downtown Lake Worth is a group that
meets weekly to make Downtown Lake Worth a welcoming destination for neighbors
and visitors alike. The MOD Squad, as
they fondly refer to themselves, organizes block by block bringing activity,
unity and camaraderie to the Downtown corridor.

ReplyDelete7:20, please learn how to write. Your remarks are childish. Our downtown is very safe and there are less and less homeless at the cultural plaza.
