BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Business is up for some consignment stores and thrift shops in the area.
âWe have been selling things like crazy,â owner of Hertel Home Consignment Michael Chamberlain said.
The hot commodity â furniture! Chamberlain said that is because many big furniture stores are currently back-logged with orders.
â[Customers] have to wait 23 weeks for furniture to be delivered to their homes, or even, get to the furniture store that they were purchasing it from, he said.
Chamberlain said that has led many customers to shops like his.
Brian Monaco, the national operations manager for AMVETS said, his furniture sales are up by 20 percent.
