Over a dozen businesses and organizations are partnering to offer discounts to early risers this Saturday, November 7. Many stores will be opening as early as 6 a.m. and discounts will be as high as 40% off. While some businesses are offering their discounts throughout the day, many are tapering their discounts as the day goes on. This is the fourth year Downtown Bangor businesses have planned the Early Bird Sale. “This is a great way to get an early jump on your holiday shopping. Not only are you able to get gifts that you cannot find anywhere else, with these discounts you can justify buying something for yourself!” said Caitlin, Business, Downtown Coordinator for the City of Bangor.
