CYPRESS – Small business owners across the Houston area are preparing for Small Business Saturday.
At establishments like the Little Eclectic House in Cypress, owners are preparing for customers the day after the big box stores had their turn on Black Friday. Most say they don't try to compete with the larger stores instead of banking on what makes them exclusive to the customer.
"I think that we offer them a personal shopping experience," said Shellie McBeth, the owner of Little Eclectic House. "They can walk in here and whoever is working behind the counter knows their name, and knows their style, knows what they like."
