Jersey Shore Businesses Deal With Hermine's Impact
by Kristen Johanson
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- This weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, and with Hermine lingering off the coast, businesses along the shore say she's already left her mark.
It's been fight or flight down the shore.
"This is usually a nice weekend for us, but everyone left, they got scared. There's only a few brave ones left," said Anna.
She owns Litterer's Food Court on the Ocean City Boardwalk, and says this is not the weekend they were counting on.
"We had June, 21 days of rain, and so that kind of made the whole season off, and then this weekend we were hoping. It's really a let-down," she said.
Mike Monichetti owns Mike's Seafood In Sea Isle City and has been planning for the Labor Day weekend feasts, like he does every year.
"We're sitting on 42,000 clams we gotta move at cost," said Monichetti.
He says this is part of being a business owner down the shore.
"I can't imagine anything being worse than Sandy. We came out of that, rebuilt, and so whatever comes, we just roll with it," Monichetti said.
