“Buying, not returning” Idaho Falls shoppers support small business day after Christmas – LocalNews8.com
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — While the day after Christmas typically marks a nationwide wave of holiday returns, small businesses in downtown Idaho Falls are seeing more shoppers buying than returning.
Despite National Retail Federation projections that 17% of holiday purchases will be returned this year, totaling an estimated $890 billion in retail reversals for the 2025 season, local shop owners say the atmosphere remains more “buy” than “bye-bye.”
Local News 8 visited several downtown businesses whose owners told us that while the morning began with a quiet start, things started to pick up as the day went on. Many of these independent businesses report significantly fewer returns than in previous years. Davin Napier, co-owner of Idaho Mountain Trading, noted that the day has become an opportunity for growth rather than a loss of revenue.
“We don’t actually get a lot of returns on this day. We actually usually get a lot of exchanges, which is wonderful. So we feel like we offer enough for everyone, but then they can actually just exchange it. And so it’s actually a really exciting day for us,” Davin Napier, Co-Owner of Idaho Mountain Trading.
Shop owners attribute this shift partly to store policies that favor exchanges or store credit over cash refunds, keeping holiday dollars within the local economy.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival celebrates 50th season
“It’s a huge deal to be celebrating our 50th season. It isn’t easy to have a successful arts organization and it’s not a given that the community is going to accept it. You weather hard moments — whether it’s a recession or a pandemic — you hang in there through it all,” Bruner said.
Bruner has served as producing director since 2024, though her roots with the festival go back to high school, where she began her career as a professional actor — which she has pursued for over 25 years.
The 50-acre amphitheater on the banks of the Boise River adds a one-of-a-kind element to each performance.
“Sometimes in the middle of a Shakespeare play, the cottonwoods will slowly start snowing on the theater or a skunk walks across the stage. It’s fun and different every night because nature wins out there and we’re always operating in relationship to that,” Bruner said.
The venue seats up to 770 guests, offering table, auditorium and lawn seating. ISF is one of the few theaters in town that allows audiences to bring in their own food and beverages — including booze.
The 2026 season lineup features five mainstage productions: “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare; “Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson — Apt. 2B” by Kate Hamill; “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” adapted by Christopher Bond with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; “The Winter’s Tale” by Shakespeare; and “The Heart of Robin Hood” by David Farr.
“This season in particular is a blockbuster lineup. Usually if I’m steering someone for the first time I have two that I recommend, but this summer, any of them are worth seeing,” said Hannah Read Newbill, Director of Marketing for ISF.
Some shows have age restrictions and feature dark themes, which organizers encourage attendees to review bios before purchasing tickets. Programming decisions are based on community feedback and ticket data. Bruner said the theater is not elitist, it is for everyone, which is why the team uses tools to help bridge the gap between the stage and audience. Shakespeare productions are adapted through editorial decisions — adjusting language, society references, design and casting for the modern age.
