Shop Local: Holly Springs Jewelers

But now, there's a new player in the shopping world, Small Business Saturday, focused on giving the growing entrepreneurs a voice in the game. 

The Saturday following Thanksgiving don't wake up at 4 a.m. or stare at your computer, take a pleasant stroll to your local business to find unique gifts for this holiday season.

The second annual Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to asking people to "Shop Small" to help fuel the economy.

Here's a business to add to your shopping list:

Owners Annette Esposito Address/Phone

510 Chambers St.

770-928-3280

Holiday Hours 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.  Holiday Specials "In the month of December, all of our Citizen Eco-Drive watches will be 20 percent off. These watches are not only beautiful, they are also a great "green" gift item as they don't require a battery; they are powered by the sun. We will be announcing additional holiday specials on our website and customers can enter to win a sterling silver Christmas bracelet online."

What draws people to your business? "People are happy to find a family-owned, full-service jewelery store that is so close and convenient. They love being able to drop off jewelry for repair in the morning and come back later that same day to pick it up. Many times they time their return visits so they can eat dinner at one of the many delicious restaurants by us. They are also thrilled to know that we make custom jewelery, are able to do insurance appraisals and even pierce ears for free. Our regular customers know that even if they wait until the last minute to buy a birthday or anniversary gift, our staff will help them quickly find that extra-special gift item and will gift-wrap it quickly at no extra charge." Why do you like being in Downtown Woodstock? "We love meeting people who are just discovering the unique shops and restaurants in Downtown Woodstock. While we have been in the Woodstock area for over six years, we especially love the camraderie with our fellow small business owners and the friendliness of the city." What is the best part of being a small business owner?  "As a small business owner, I love the relationships I have built with my customers over the years. I have had the pleasure of watching their children grow up, get married and now they bring their babies in to have their ears pierced or get their first piece of real jewelry."
