MELROSE — The Melrose Chamber of Commerce invites the public to shop locally on Saturday, April 28 during a Sidewalk Sale with several Melrose businesses.

Come to downtown Melrose and Franklin Square to support your local businesses while welcoming spring. There will be some great deals and sales while supplies last. At the time of this release, current Sidewalk Sale participants include:

• Beansprout Gifts

• Buckalew’s

• Cross Cut Sewing

• Lilah Rose

• Madison Ave of Melrose

“The Sidewalk Sale came out of a group discussion with several business owners about how to increase foot traffic in downtown Melrose and other business districts in our community. After a tough winter – with no thanks to Mother Nature – Melrose businesses are ready to move inventory they may have been holding onto and are looking forward to reconnecting with customers. April is an ideal month for the community to patronize our stores and restaurants who have donated to school auctions, sponsored sports teams, and supported other local causes in Melrose,” commented Lauren Grymek the Chamber’s Executive Director.

The sale will take place during each business’ normal Saturday hours. Additional businesses may be added to the Sidewalk Sale.
