Retail Roundup: Veteran's Day is the New Black Friday
Strategic Resource GroupBurt P. Flickinger, III was asked on my weekly "Retail Roundup" on MORNINGS with MARIA about the compounding effects of organized theft, supply-chain bottlenecks & low supply intersecting with high demand, and said that "Veteran's Day is the New Black Friday" because after Nov. 11, shoppers can expect shortages of toys, clothes, consumer electronics, furniture & tools and other holiday gift items. The worst retail crisis in 95 years also means consumers are smart to shop at NGA, independently-owned food stores & "Small Business Saturday" retailers during the month of November because they are not counting on containers coming from China. Burt also lauded the bi-partisan effort by Senators Braun of Indiana and Klobuchar of Minnesota to enforce anti-trust regulations so that big chains don't get all the groceries, toys and gift-giving items this holiday season.
