Whether you're the kind of shopper who will line up at the big box stores for Black Friday or if you like to keep it low-key with a few small businesses, chances are holiday shopping feels slightly different this year.
Due to tariffs, rising costs and overall economic uncertainty, shoppers may be more hesitant to spend this holiday season. Projections for Minnesota-based retailer Target show a challenging outlook for the holiday season. MPR News has reported on multiple small businesses that have been affected by the tariff rollercoaster.
Bruce Nustad, the president of the Minnesota Retailers Association, joined MPR News host Chris Farrell to break down these trends.
