Phoenix Small Business Saturday 2015 is upon us and here at Phoenix Real Estate Guy we thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite local businesses. How these small business are up and running, and what they have to do in order to stay as such can often mean sacrifices for them. If you ever decide to join them and open your own, you’ll probably need a cash management service like WECU – Cash Management, which is what you can be sure they use themselves.
“There is a story behind every small business. That story is worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, these hardware stores, these big restaurants, these saloons and parlors, these gyms and institutions. These did not come out of nowhere.” ~Paul Ryan
Local Botanical Artist Dyana Hesson captures the beauty of the AZ desert magnificently. Her original paintings are represented by Bonner David Galleries in Scottsdale and her work is collected all over the world. Check out Dyana’s website for a range of items from individual paintings, to scarves made of her prints, and a new book!
Coffee, anyone? Yes, please! How about Peixoto Coffee in Chandler? Available to both wholesalers and consumers alike, their coffee is *family-grown, artisanally roasted, and artfully poured.* They’re a local favorite and have some fun events going on for Small Business Saturday. Check out the details on their FB event here.
Do you just love the smell of a freshly cracked book? Even with my love of technology there’s something about a book I can’t resist. Changing Hands in Tempe (& Phoenix) offers 10% off of their gift cards online for Small Business Saturday.
Downtown Glendale offers local Cerreta Candy Co. Check out an Arizona Camelback bar or pick your own pound of candy.
Cookies for Santa? Or year round? SheyB Cookie Designs decorates cookies, but not only that, she also offers some of the most unique cookie cutters around with new ones all the time. You can even subscribe to a cookie cutter of the month! I’m thinking I may have her create a Phoenix Real Estate Guy logo cookie cutter!
Skip the big box movie theater and support local actors at the Hale Theater in Gilbert. Done in the round there’s not a bad seat in the house! A Christmas Carol starts next week and it’s always a family favorite. Or buy season tickets and make it a yearlong treat!
Some of our favorite local restaurants include: Joe’s Real BBQ, Joe’s Farm Grill, Liberty Market, Someburro’s, Taco Guild, Macayo’s, Casa Reynoso, Bosa Doughnuts, Orange Table, Mac’s Broiler & Tap, El Guero Canelo (now in Phoenix!). Can you tell I like Mexican food?!?!
Here are some other fun events for tomorrow:

The Phoenix Real Estate Guy was started by Jay Thompson, and I have a little blogging problem... he liked to say...
Greetings from California! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone
during lunch break. I love the information you present here and
can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how
quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G ..
Anyhow, very good site!

In order to execute better inside the game, you’ll want superior
gaming hardware containing technological advantage in comparison with regular mouse in combination with everyday computers.
Take note, though, majority of the tracks contain light techno songs
suited for your appeal of young gamers, however they are definitely more upbeat
compared to soundtrack of Gun – Bound. Best gaming mouse for large hands If you’re like other
typical gamers, your desk generally is a mess filled with wires
and gears.
In the very first, second and third game with the series,
players need to solve puzzles, collect and combine circumstances to escape the room.
However, even if the keyboard and screen are arranged in the ergonomically way, the position with the mouse
might cause havoc if it can be incorrectly placed.
