With Black Friday this week, the final countdown to Christmas decorating is coming. Major commercial installations will happen this week and most families install their Christmas trees next weekend. We often get asked, "How busy are you on Black Friday?"
The answer surprises most of our customers. We are usually quite dead from our 8am opening time until around 11am or noon. Most people are shopping the stores that have big Black Friday sales. We usually do not start to get busy until after the first rush to the big retailers and people have gone home to empty out their cars and take a nap. During that afternoon and over the weekend, we are extremely busy. It is one of the two busiest weekends of the year.
If you want to take advantage of the lull in warehouse activity, come to one of our warehouses between 8am and 11am and you will be surprised at the low level of activity for Black Friday. Many of our customers know that this is the last time you will be able to walk into the warehouses without seeing a large crowd.
