How Is Business In Your Area?

Just a general question for you all. We had been buzzing along pretty good for the past few month and had a reasonable black Friday, but then hit a brick wall since Friday. Anyone else notice a similar drop off? Curious to see your thoughts, experiences.

Seems normal, people likes to fix up the tank a bit for holiday guess then focus on gift shopping instead of hobby shopping after thanks giving. You'll probably get some last minuets desperate shoppers in a few weeks. Christmas was never a huge season for us; it generally picks up a few weeks after the holidays.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense I guess. I was just surprised to see it drop off as dramatically as it did, never seen that before.

IN both wholesale livestock and in manufacturing side of the trade, we see the same.

I don't know that you are in "wholesale livestock" side of the business

I hope business is good for everyone this time of year.....sure seems to be about this time. I think historically that the month of February is the busiest month of the year....and this week has proven that statement to be very true!

Good wishes to all!

I'm not, but perhaps I know a few people in it after doing it myself for a few years that I talk to

Yes, it has been the busiest I've seen so far this month here as well. Pleased to see it! There has been a dip in freshwater sales though. Any thoughts?
