We’ve been away this past week so have our store on “time away’ which sometimes feels like it affects sales. We do really...
Better week but still slow. Not having any big dollar sales affects the total, but we’ll take it. We have time in the next couple week...
Slow week. Number of items sold were down, mostly low dollar. Disaster! Was it because we’ve focused on other things? Or are people ju...
