PIERRE, S.D.(WNAX)- This could be another challenging holiday season for businesses and consumers.

Nathan Sanderson, Executive Director of the South Dakota Retailers Association, says their members are facing some real fourth quarter problems.

Sanderson says you may already be seeing some of the supply chain issues.

Sanderson says some specific items could be in very short supply.
