Black Friday was not the end of the early holiday deals with more to come tomorrow in downtown Atmore.

The Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce will host its annual Jingle Bell Walk throughout the downtown area with several businesses keeping their doors open past closing time to welcome in guests.

The walk will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, in downtown Atmore, with refreshments and entertainment throughout downtown and at other local businesses.

Stores have been asked to stay open with the hopes that a large crowd finds its way to downtown to spend money at local stores, Vickery said.

“I have asked people to stay open a little bit past 5:30 p.m. We will have refreshments set up and a lot of places are going to keep their doors open. The more people that are open the more traffic will come down each street. Last year, I know several stores saw success and Jus Because had one of their best days.,” she said.

At Jus Because, the store will have sales as well as a special guest on hand. Pictures with Santa will be a big draw to the small shop, much like they were last year, Miller said.

“Last year’s was extremely successful,” she said. “We took more than 90 pictures, and this year, we will have pictures with Santa, great sales for the holiday and door prizes.”

The businesses that will remain open for the Jingle Bell Walk include Edward Jones, Maxwell, Haley, & Castleberry, Coley’s Petals & Parties, Country Charms, United Bank, Jus Because, Earle’s Jewelers, Atmore Appliance, Tot Shop, The Bean Store, Atmore News, Atmore Historical Society, Pintoli’s, Miche Bags, Ashley Dawn Studio, McNeil Boutique, Seven J’s, American Legion Auxiliary and Roaster’s Gallery
