BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) â The day after a snowstorm, hardware stores are keeping busy.
âThe answering machine was full when we got in this morning,â Kimps Ace Hardware owner Craig Kimps said.
Some area hardware stores say snowstorms usually bring in business.
âTwo guys out picking up and delivering right now, picking up peopleâs that didnât start theirs up on time, and itâs been swamped all day long. Shovels, ice melt, everything,â Kimps said.
âA few people earlier before the storm but today has been the busiest day. A lot of snowblower repair, buying new ones, shovels. I assume itâs going to continue through the week, especially with the storm Wednesday,â De Pere True Value Hardware manager Allen Hoopingarner said.
