Fearless of Blizzard

Even after 48 hours of a record breaking snowstorm, Walnut Hill still has mounds of snow piled on streets, slushy curb sides, and snow covered sidewalks. The warnings of today’s blistery blizzard did not move customers and employees of the Supreme Shop n’ Bag Market located on 43rd and Walnut Streets.

Anthony, Store Manager, says there has definitely been a small decrease in customers compared to the weekend’s blizzard.

"Not as much as last week [because] last week, people feared being snowed in the whole weekend," Anthony said.

According to Anthony, people feel more grocery shopping for the second storm would be useless. The Super Bowl game also accounted for the low visitors.

Popular products that customers purchase are bread, milk, eggs and paper goods. Even Phyllis, a cashier, stocked up on spaghetti, chips, ice cream and canned goods. Still, with her stocked cabinets, she hopes that transportation will not affect her morning commute into work.

"Yes, I sure hope so. I sure cannot afford [not to come to work]," Phyllis said.

Nevertheless, the Supreme Shop n’ Bag Market will be opened for business at 7AM, but may close earlier than 11PM if the weather is too dangerous.
