Memorial Day, Monday, May. 31, 2010

Today is Memorial Day and the final day of the Memorial Day Sales event at most retailers. We have featured several hot consumer electronic Memorial Day sales and deals over the last days.

Thousands spent Memorial Day Weekend visiting beach towns in the Lowcountry, all the while drumming up sales at local businesses.

“This has been a very busy weekend for our restaurant,“ says John Davis at Rita’s Seaside Grille on Folly Beach.

Davis attributes the strong weekend to fair weather, a recent drop in gas prices and he hopes a turn around in the national economy.

“It says to me that people are out and they are less nervous about spending money,“ says Davis.

To many people, Memorial Day Weekend is the kick off to summer and an indicator how business will fair the rest of the season.

“It’s been bad for the past 2 years and for us just luke-warm this weekend,“ says Joel Flores at Folly Bargains, “we’ll see how it goes.“
