Black Friday in Ashtabula looked much different this year as winter weather kept many shoppers at home.While some locals seemed unprepared for the snow and icy conditions, others embraced the cold.“I think it’s great!” one shopper said.For many business owners in Ashtabula harbor, the day was slow. There was very little foot traffic, and several stores opted to close early.“It’s one of our biggest days of the year,” Toni Carlisle, owner of Carlisle Home in the Harbor, said.
He was hoping to attract Black Friday shoppers while raising money for his local Kiwanis Club.“They were expecting a good day, and it’s kept everybody away,” he said, referring to the businesses close by.Despite the slow day, Grippi remained optimistic as he offered his roasted chestnuts to the few who ventured out.“Usually, people drive by and scream they love my nuts, but today they just shake their head and drive by,” he said.The proceeds from Grippi’s chestnut sales benefit the community.
