Back-to-School Rush Hits Stores | Barbados News

Back-to-school shopping is in full swing as parents scramble to grab last-minute essentials before the new term begins, with some noticing higher prices and others racing against dwindling stock. Supply chain delays have pushed certain items—like fabrics and popular sizes—by as much as a month, but stores are prioritizing customer satisfaction by keeping prices steady on delayed goods. While some retailers report slower-than-expected sales, a final rush is still expected, including last-minute shoppers even during the first week of school. Beauty supply stores are also buzzing, fueled by demand for trendy hairstyles. Across the board, it’s a hectic, high-stakes time as families gear up for the academic year.
