Global supply chain crisis impacts Memphians’ Christmas shopping
Shane Waldroup, owner of Memphis vintage store Cotton Row Uniques, said his store has been seeing a shortage in his supplies since Easter. “All my fall and Halloween orders were either cut short, canceled, or we didn’t get it until like after October 31.” (Ziggy Mack/Special to the Daily Memphian)
The crisis has pushed many shoppers to look early for Christmas gifts and caused headaches for retailers big and small.
