The rush for eclipse glasses in Portland
Brian Sheridan, an independent reseller, sells and runs out of eclipse glasses outside Maine Hardware in Portland. Sheridan was there as a line grew outside the store, which sold out of the last of its 3,000 glasses early Monday morning.
Rick Tucker, president of Maine Hardware, said an original shipment of several thousand glasses arrived three weeks ago and “went pretty quickly,” he said. The volume of merchandise sold was the greatest he’s seen in his five years at the business. Even emergencies, such as impending storms, don’t generate comparable sales.
