Traders hopeful for busy holiday season

The operations manager at Vive La Vallette says it will be its fourth summer following a refurbishment.
Traders are optimistic about a busy holiday shopping season, as indicated by a recent report from the National Retail Federation forecasting a 3-4% increase in holiday sales for November and December compared to the previous year. This optimism is fueled by strong consumer confidence, low unemployment rates, and rising wages, which are expected to drive spending. Retailers are preparing for the surge by increasing inventory and staffing, with a particular focus on e-commerce due to the continued growth in online shopping.
