No Resemblance To the Talking Tom; yeah Right!
Many consumers are resorting to internet purchasing, where counterfeit toys are a problem, because of the global supply chain’s influence on local retailers. Ali Cat Toys in Carrboro and Chapel Hill is owned by Irene Kesselman. In an effort to prevent shipping complications, Kesselman began placing her orders at the beginning of the summer. If we didn’t place our order by a certain date, we might not receive it, said Kesselman, who had received notifications from CEOs of various companies about price rises.
The Carr Mill Mall site of Kesselman’s is bursting at the seams with everything a child might want, from infants and toddlers to preteens and young adults. As Kesselman said, “new boxes, new products, we are getting very packed right now,” this is the time of year when we start placing items behind items, behind items. Many people are turning to internet shopping because popular things are flying off the shelves.
