For Tamara Johnson, the holiday shopping period represented a special challenge.
Natchez, MS – Talk about the economy for the last couple of years has often been terse. In the now recently past holiday season, however, Natchezians seemed to feel a little freer with their cash, and local retailers say their customers spent more time shopping and spending locally.
For Tamara Johnson, the holiday shopping period represented a special challenge. It was the first Christmas season that the business she co-owns with her sister Tana Barlow — Jack + Stella — would go through.
“Any time you open a business, you are a little nervous that it is not going to succeed,” she said.
“I was nervous about how busy we were going to be — was it going to be too crazy?”
