Expected widespread, soaking rain on Sunday will likely keep shoppers at home and out of the stores. With just a week before Christmas, time is running out for businesses who hope to make their annual sales goals.
At Cary Crossroads, some shoppers told WRAL News that they were getting shopping done Saturday in anticipation of another rainy Sunday.
At Hobby Lobby, Nichole Taylor said, the lines were "incredible."
"With it raining tomorrow, I mean, deals are ending I believe on the 17th. We have our deals right now," he said.
"It’s a mystery. Statewide it's the same thing to all the tree growers." he said.
Any lost day – like when severe weather hits – is a blow to business.
"It’s kinda like a used car lot," he said. "If you aren't there, you can't sell them."
