“Shopping locally stimulates the local economy, creates local jobs,” said Tracy Miller of Jus Because on Highway 31 in downtown Atmore. “You can find such unique items at local businesses and receive much better customer service. Miller’s Jus Because will be open until 2 p.m. today for last minute shoppers. Jus Because offers a variety of items that include clothing, shoes, jewelry and other accessories. And, like many local businesses, she offers gift certificates.
If you own a locally-owned business that is open today with last minute gifts in stock that sell for less than $100, you may add the details in the comment section below. Please no service-oriented businesses that only offer gift certificates for a future service (such as a photography business) — we are looking to physical, tangible, wrappable gifts available today for under the tree.
