The Parry Sound Downtown Business Association says you can find some of the best Christmas deals by shopping locally.
Executive Director Susan Hyrcyna says the business association offers an added bonus if you shop downtown.
Many downtown stores will stay open until 8 pm during the week before Christmas. Some select stores will open on Christmas Eve, even though it falls on a Sunday.
Numbers from StatsCan reveal that local business is battling growing competition from online retailers.
Online shopping will almost double next year when compared to 2014. Almost 70% of internet users buy online.
Hyrcyna says the Parry Sound Downtown Business Association has a lot of great stores where you can shop.
