The retailer thinks the business will take

A Brandon retailer thinks that business will resume next week or two.

Bernie Whetter, owner of The Green Spot Home and Garden Center, says the Christmas season has begun slowly.

"We're sold out by most of our Christmas trees which is fantastic and we still have a good selection of Christmas stars again and those are our two great Christmas items."

When it comes to keeping a tree alive, Whetter likes to be simple. "You know, Ii is letting people in and asking this question and there's nothing better than clean water, we've had people experimenting with things like aspirin, sugar and even syrup. clean water because it's better for the tree. "

When it comes to Christmas shopping, Whetter says people seem to leave later and later every year.

"Usually there is a good selection, so people are not in a hurry to do Christmas shopping and we are ready for numbers whenever they want to come."
