Retailers Trying to Make Up Lost Snow Money

Retailers Trying to Make Up Lost Snow Money - Saturday, December 20, 2008 at 10:18PM EST

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- The Friday snow storm squeezed an already short holiday shopping. Shoppers made up for losing Friday by cramming into stores Saturday.

With less than a week until Christmas, we found people packing in to Boscovs. They were snapping up sales as they were trying to finish checking off those lists.

Store managers say it hurts to lose any business this year - because the economy has been rough on them. Manager Brian Cann says, "Whenever you get this bad weather right before Chirstmas it's a problem for us and for the customers."

This holiday season is especially important for Boscovs, which filed for bankruptcy and closed several stores over the summer.
