This Monday is often referred to as "Cyber Monday" and Kentucky retailers are cautiously optimistic about the Christmas holiday shopping season. So says Steve McClain, communications and public affairs director for the Kentucky Retail Federation. McClain said inflation has been stubbornly high in certain areas and local shoppers may face some other financial challenges.
“You know housing costs are way up and things like that…health care.. and then you’ve also got to work in the fact student loan repayment has started so that’s playing a role in it too,” said McClain.
