Local business owners have banded together under the mantra UnChain Asheville in an attempt to sway the public toward shopping with small businesses rather than chains.
Two local businesses — grocery discount chain Amazing Savings and homestead supply shop Small Terrain — are facing trademark threats from a New York merchandise chain and from retail giant Urban Outfitters, respectively.
National retail outlet Urban Outfitters announced plans on Friday to open a retail store at the corner of Haywood and College streets.
