Fewer hurricane supplies flying off shelves

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Since Friday, stores like Stevens Ace Hardware have not been selling as many hurricane supplies as they were earlier in the week.

They still have a lot of supplies left over after ordering more to keep up with high demand.

The store supervisor, Luke Bennett said the store was extremely busy, but these supplies are always good to have on hand, especially during the winter months.

He also said he isn’t surprised by the halt in buying, but most people that were coming in were not locals.
