The local market might be Las Vegas — Golden Knights country — but retail sales of St. Louis Blues merchandise are strong.
In fact, the day after the Blues knocked out the San Jose Sharks from the 2019 Western Conference Finals — San Jose defeated the VGK in seven games in Round 1 a month ago — the last Blues cap at a Lids store in Downtown Summerlin was sold.
In fact, the Las Vegas woman called ahead to inquire about the St. Louis Blues cap at Lids and the merchant put aside the final Blues hat.
Fifteen minutes leader, the woman walked in and asked about the hat.
The $10 hat — $10.83 with sales tax — was out the door.
“My kid’s teacher is a big Blues fan,” she explained.
Randy the retailer said the Blues hat was only 10 bucks because it was last year’s model.
No matter.
There’s going to be a Las Vegas teacher sporting a St. Louis Blues cap in Sin City tomorrow.
