Bryant Corral said his store carries items that can be found on almost any Father’s Day wish list.“We’ve got a lot of stuff like coolers, boat electronics, rods and reels,” said one of the managers of Hammond’s Fishing Center in north Forsyth. “We have all the high-end brands, all the really manly clothing and toys that every guy puts on their wish list.” The shop will be one of many likely to see big business for Father’s Day, which is Sunday.According to a survey conducted by the National Retail Federation, the average American is expected to spend more than $117 on dad’s gifts this year.
