Norman businesses are gearing up for another sizzlin’ hot Summer Sidewalk Sale for shop goers July 14 through 16. The initiative is part of Weekend of Local, created through Oklahoma’s Independent Shopkeepers Association and coordinated annually with the assistance of VisitNorman, Norman Chamber of Commerce and the City of Norman Business and Community Relations Office.
“Local businesses make our community unique and vibrant; they are the heartbeat of Norman,” said Sara Kaplan, Chief Business and Community Relations Officer of the City of Norman. “We are proud to partner with the business community each year for this special weekend that showcases so many incredible local shops and districts in our city.” Dozens of retail sites will participate in the Summer Sidewalk Sale, to be observed in a traditional sense – outdoors – and indoors as well, Kaplan said.
