WATERLOO --
People were lined up outside of Waterloo Region businesses on Wednesday, preparing for the holidays and a province-wide lockdown coming into effect this weekend.
Dozens of people were lined up outside Vincenzo's in Waterloo, waiting to shop inside. Some said they didn't mind being patient, adding they expect to wait a bit to shop this time of year anyways.
"December 23 is the very busiest day of the year," said Carmine Caccioppoli, co-owner of Vincenzo's. "It's been a very busy day today, but in a COVID way, which is sort of strange to say, but we have endless lineups out at front."
