Some business owners believe new school year means an increase in business

Some owners believe they’ll see an increase in business now that the school year has begun. While summer brings visitors and tourists, some business owners say that people are busier with vacation time and outdoor activities. The return of the school year likely means more people through the door at businesses like Fort Town Treasures, according to owner Sherry Spring.

Most students return to school today. Some schools began classes last week.
