Stores Continue Half Day Closing In Dothan Merchants Vote
Ji Baxley reports a Dothan merchants meeting voted to remain closed Thursday afternoons and to form a Retail Merchants Association independent of the Chamber of Commerce. Floyd Baxter was elected first president, Sam Blumberg vice president, and Dan Morgar secretary treasurer. The decision followed a push by Aaron Kraseisky to explain benefits, with a Chamber committee already studying the idea. The group plans a preliminary meeting to draft bylaws and a constitution. Some speakers warned the move could invite unions, while others argued it relieves the Chamber of Commerce of retail concerns. Stores will stay closed Thursday afternoons until Thanksgiving, then open on those afternoons from Thanksgiving through Christmas, with a new schedule on the first Thursday in January.
