BRYAN/COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - Local businesses in Bryan and College Station are preparing for a day they have been anticipating all year.

Heartworks General Manager Bryce Mearns said with the holidays and Texas A&M’s last game of the season, they expect a lot of customers in their store.

“We have a lot of people that come out of town just to come to our shop. We’re kind of a destination here in College Station. We’re excited to show off our Christmas goodies that we have,” Mearns said.

In downtown Bryan, Brazos Glassworks is gearing up for an eventful Saturday.

The business has been in Bryan for over 15 years and said they always appreciate the customers that come out to support them.
