CHICAGO – U.S. retailers, including some aggressive small business owners, are banking on a boffo St. Patrick’s Day to shake off the February blahs.
“St. Patrick’s Day is almost as big as Christmas is for us,” said Kristin Olsen, owner of the Celtic Attic, a primarily online seller of assorted Irish memorabilia that includes Claddagh pendants, key chains, shamrock wall hangings and Irish music.
