Downtown Asheville Merchants Pleased with Strong Holiday Sales
Asheville, NC – Sometimes in retail, running out of merchandise is a good sign.
“Our season was excellent — good traffic throughout and substantial increases over last year and over 2009,” said Dean Peterson, general manager of Tops for Shoes. “We were extremely pleased. At one point, we were running out of merchandise.”
With an extremely mild December , plenty of other downtown merchants also enjoyed excellent holiday sales totals for 2011. In 2010, by contrast, heavy snows left many downtown sellers struggling to make goal.
