With fans headed back to the ballpark, Hundt said Brewers merchandise was in high demand on opening day.
"Sometimes we feel that some of the fans, the more that they can stand out the better with some of the gear that they wear," said Hundt. "They love to represent their team, show their love, show their support for their home team. We have anything from hats, to jerseys, to T-shirts, to sweatshirts. We have the bib overalls that people like to wear, the game bibs."
And what’s good for the fan, in turn, is good for their business.
"We have some people that have come in saying they’re going to the game today, others that are going on the weekend, others that are just doing things in their own homes outside, having their own tailgate," said Hundt.
Hundt said she hopes the boost in business will continue through the Brewers' season.
