“Business is slow. Some days we have to wait two days to break the ice (make a sale) but we cannot give up, if we give up we get nothing,“ this is the story, as related by Lyndon Hermanstine, a clothing vendor in the Vendors Arcade on Water Street.
His story is similar to the scores of other vendors who are selling in the arcade on Water Street. When Stabroek News visited last week the stalls were well stocked with items ranging from clothing to household items. The Water Street vendors were observed sitting at their stalls with expectations in their eyes, as they tried to lure passing customers into their shops.
Few had seasonal goods but they remarked that they are prepared for the influx of shoppers for the Christmas season, whom they expect to start pouring in this week.
