17h agoBusinesses are preparing for nationwide protests aimed at President Donald Trump and his administration to take place on Saturday.
Organizers say the "No Kings" protests are part of national day of defiance against the president.
One of the rallies is set to take place by the clock tower in the Mount Kisco Metro-North parking lot.
The area is where many local businesses are located, so News 12 asked some of their employees how they feel about Saturday.
A worker at a sports store told News 12 off camera that he thinks the protests will be bad for his business.
Keith Doland, the owner of Hollywood Flower Shop, says his company is carrying on as usual on Saturday.
He says they're also not planning to take on any additional security measures to protect themselves amid the anticipated crowds.
"I mean everybody has a right to protest, so I'm just going to go about my business," Doland says.
Mario Carillo, the owner of Marios Pizza & Pasta, says other protests have taken place by the clock tower in the past.
He shared how they unfolded.
"Very peaceful, very good," Carillo says. "So, they can keep going."
News 12 spoke with taxi driver who says he hopes the influx of people help him make more money.
