Shoppers Lured by Return of Sun
By Sharon Edelson
NEW YORK — The return of the sun over the weekend after eight days of continual rain sent consumers outdoors and into stores.
At Poleci on West 14th Street, there was also an interest in fall styles. The first sunny day after eight soggy ones, and a crisp one at that, put shoppers in a mind for fall, said Chris Easter, manager.
"The weekend was amazing. There was traffic on the street. We did pretty good business with outerwear and sweaters last weekend."
But Easter isn't completely dismissive of rain. "When it rains and people are in the mood to shop they'll stay in a store longer," he explained. "You can really get to know people. We sell more items to fewer customers."
