Shoppers were still out in force late Sunday afternoon, and some were forced to stand in line – most noticeably at Best Buy, 1170 Vann Drive.
According to Susan Davie, NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM, Best Buy is allowing 37 customers in the store at one time.
The first tax-free holiday weekend concentrated on clothing and other back-to-school items. It began at 12:01 a.m., Friday, July 31 and ends at 11:59 p.m., today.
During this time, clothing, school supplies, and computers and other qualifying electronic devices may be purchased tax-free. Certain price restrictions apply.
Exempt items sold online are also eligible. Items must be purchased for personal use, not for business or trade.
The second tax-free holiday weekend focuses on restaurant sales.
It begins at 12:01 a.m. on August 7, and ends Sunday, August 9 at 11:59 p.m.
During this time, the retail sale of food and drink by restaurants and limited service restaurants, as defined in Tenn. Code Ann. § 57-4-102, is exempt from sales tax.
