1. Mountain Brook shops like the toy store Snoozy's Kids and The Pants Store are preparing for Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the season, but they say they are struggling to fully stock their inventory due to supply chain slowdowns, and inflation is raising the price on some items.
