Prom 2021 just around the corner
For the last few weeks, starting around 3:30 p.m. the doors at Carolina Bridal in Shelby start swinging open. And they do not stop again until it is time to close up for the day.
The bridal shop is one of many businesses experiencing a rush as high school juniors and seniors prepare for proms in May. In a normal year, that rush would have started as a trickle in December and built over the coming months.
Given that proms didn t even seem feasible until earlier this spring, and weren t announced until a few weeks ago, shops are now seeing months worth of work in just a few short weeks.
