Archived What are your busiest shifts at your store?

[aurelius]

Based on your experience at your stores, which hours do you typically see the most customers?
On Weekdays, I imagine you see a lot of them coming between 3-7, but how about weekends?
Do you get the same result on a Saturday, or do they usually come in earlier in the day because a lot of people have the day off?

My (standalone AA) store gets busy early and dies early. Weekdays we see the rush around 12-1 and die down about 7-8, on weekends it starts at 10-11 and sometimes doesn't end 'til 9 or 10. Stores that are attached to a mall will see the opposite; they'll start getting busy late in the day and stay hella busy until the wave brought in by the mall closing dies down.

We're busy mid-morning/early afternoon during the week with all the SAHMs doing grocery shopping before the kids get out of school. Saturdays we usually stay steady busy all day with a peak around noonish. Sundays mornings are always slow and if it rains, the place is a ghost town.

We see large rushes from 11-1 when the businesses all around us let out for lunch breaks (close to a downtown doesn't hurt either) and starting at about 330 when schools start letting out until about 630 when the after work rush cools down. Weekends we're pretty much slammed from 10-10 on Saturday and about 1230-7 on Sunday.

we're busy from 11 to like 2 and then back up at around 5:30 (when everyone gets off work) to around8 and on weekends we're slammed all day for both saturday and sunday.

Weekdays from 4-9 are busy and all day weekends. Our store is a part of an outdoor shopping area with a large movie theater and restaurants. We get a ton of guests, usually just wasting time until their movie starts.
