Black Friday was a "bust" for many small business owners in Atmore and Bay Minette.
"Mom and Pop" shops are having a hard time competing with the big city retail giants- and the Black Friday specials they offer.
But small business owners say they do have one big advantage over the big box stores- exceptional customer service.
Small business owners could make a profit this weekend, however. Tomorrow is "Small Business Saturday"- a shopping holiday created last year to help promote small businesses unable to compete with Black Friday "doorbusters" and internet discounts and specials.
