Small Businesses Hoping For Last Minute Shopping Flurry | NBC 4i

A strong start to holiday shopping season has kept a steady stream of business for small businesses.

In the Short North, owner of Rowe, Maren Roth, tells NBC4 she loves when people wait until the last minute, even though it gets pretty busy!

"When people come in and have no idea what to do, so between wrapping presents, helping people, finding out what people need, it can be a mad-house. You want to fall on the floor when it is done," said Roth.

Across town in Worthington, it has been a good shopping season for Worthington Jewelers.

"It has been even better than we could have expected. Our goldsmiths have been so busy they can't keep up," said owner Joe Davis.

While time is running out for shoppers, they can expect to see great deals if they choose to shop this weekend.

"You have a little more negotiating power now than any other time," said Davis.

Weather can impact shopping mood, but even on a snowy afternoon, like Friday, the snow didn't slow everyone down.

"I think when it is snowing and it is Christmas you want to go shopping. It inspired me," said shopper Johm Oberdick.
