At the Karwei hardware store in Broek op Langedijk, people were already queuing for the sleds on Monday, says an employee. The store is closed on Sunday, so yesterday was the first opportunity. They were at the door before opening time at 9am.
There is almost nothing left of the stock of sleds
With the exception of a few plastic sleds, almost nothing is left of the stock. “We also had ten to fifteen wooden sleds, but they are also gone. Just like almost all the snow shovels and the road salt.”
Camping store Pauw in Heerhugowaard still has plenty of sleds in the store. They were closed on Monday, so we didn’t get much of the stampede on sleds. An employee says that the first sled had already been sold, but that things were not going very well.
