Description

Factories and manufacturers, abroad and in the U.S., have had trouble shipping orders on time because of pandemic-related closures and staffing shortages. These backups in the supply chain are trickling down to customers who have been left waiting long periods of time for their online purchases. The delays have led to a boom for local businesses that sell antique and vintage items. We talk to Ally Marotti from Crain’s Chicago Business about this trend, and to Meredith Schipferling from Roscoe Woodstock Antique Mall, a 44,000-square-foot mall that sells everything from pinball machines to costume jewelry.

Guests:
Ally Marotti — Reporter, Crain's Chicago Business
Meredith Schipferling — Manager, Roscoe Woodstock Antique Mall
