(NATIONAL FILE) – A combination of supply chain issues and labor shortages have led to a massive shortage of candy canes this Christmas season. Similar factors have also led to a shortage of Christmas trees, both real and artificial.
Andrew Schuman, a candy cane vendor, told Reuters that he had to turn away upwards of 10% of his customers this year due to supply shortages.
“We have had to turn away business this year. I wouldn’t say that it is 30% of the overall business, but we certain probably had to turn away 10% of the business,” said Schuman, who serves as chief executive officer of Hammond’s, which is based in Denver, Colorado.
