We have a nice gift shop that have been doing great since January, we have been 30% ahead from last year until October hit, that was the slowest october of all the years. I thought November is going to pick up but still a bit slow, though we are 15% ahead compared to November last year. It’s just odd that seems sudden slow .
5 locations with 3 quite mature, niche sector. Weaker than expected October and headwinds felt throughout Q3. November looks good with ytd YoY around 15-20% growth.
Real progress has been through more favorable shipping rates and consistent supply allowing for reduction of standing inventory. As just in time ordering has become more feasible again.
Feels slow since around July, but numbers don’t entirely back that feeling. Been reducing down almost every precooked order by the maximum allowed under terms.
