The day after Thanksgiving is “Black Friday,” marking the official beginning of each holiday shopping season when retailers have the last sprint toward being “in the black” for the year.
This is the first of a series of features highlighting the many shopping opportunities available to those who work, live and visit Downtown. There may not be a Cheesecake Factory or Tiffany’s, but you can find items Downtown not seen in stores anywhere else in North Florida.
The retail hub of Downtown is the Landing. The riverfront retail, dining and entertainment center celebrates its 24th holiday season this year.
Under the orange roof you’ll find dozens of specialty retailers and restaurants. Shoppers can find gifts ranging from stocking stuffers to fine jewelry to art galleries to clothing and accessories.
For a complete list of holiday gift options, hours and this season’s entertainment schedule, visit www.jacksonvillelanding.com.
