Good day to All!
 
Just like we have done in the past few years, we will be closed on Thanksgiving Day next Thursday so our dedicated staff can enjoy the day with family and friends. We will open at our usual time at 7 am on Friday, November 29th. "Black Friday",  as the day after Thanksgiving is commonly called, has been the biggest shopping day of the year in the country since 2005. It is the kick off to the Christmas shopping season and lots of chain stores open early, some as early as 12 am in the morning!

While thinking about all the shopping that goes on at this time of the year, I'd like to share some excerpts from information below that was on the internet regarding support of local merchants that you might find interesting.


"Food" for Thought at this holiday season....
Ten Reasons to Think Local and Shop Local

1. Purchases from local businesses, service providers and farms strengthen the economic base of the community. 

2. Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive great financial support from small business owners.

3. One-of-a-kind businesses are an important part of the distinctive character of the community and helps benefit our tourism industry also.  

4. Locally owned businesses generally set up shop in town or city centers.

5. Small local businesses provide many good jobs to residents.

6. Get great service! Local businesses hire people with a good knowledge of their products and services and who take time to get to know their customers. 

7. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community.

8. Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure investment and make efficient use of public services. 

9. Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to buy: A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.  

10. Business owners and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.



In anticipation of your Christmas shopping, we are ready to help! You can purchase China Dine-ah gift cards by calling us at 207-445-5700, and give us your credit card number over the phone and we will either mail it to you or have it ready and waiting at the register for you to pick up. All that's left is the giving to a lucky recipient on your Christmas shopping list!

Also, if you need a place to get away from the hustle bustle of the crowds of holiday shoppers after Thanksgiving, stop by the Dine-ah to enjoy a meal or just for coffee and some pie. It will help you recharge and get back out there! 


 
This past Monday my oldest son was involved in a serious car accident with another vehicle in Palermo.  Both drivers although injured, are both doing well.  I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.


Even though the holidays are not here yet, I have already received my  gift.   

 
Always wishing you the best,   

Norm
