Had quite the shower earlier and it is still coming down - almost 0.4" now. Supposed to intensify tomorrow but lighten up for Friday and Saturday. This is a good thing because of the Car Show.
Coming to the end of a wonderful summer for the store too - July sales were up 12% over 2015. Sales have been increasing year after year for the last five years or so.
It is fun because our distributors are now giving us allocations of cool products - case in point the Raspberry Lager made as a joint venture between Kulshan Brewery and Wander Brewery. We are the only people in a 25 mile radius to carry this.
Business is going to enter our Fall Slowdown soon - this is the third-worst quarter for sales. School gets back into session this Monday and until Mt. Baker opens up for skiing, we get precious few tourist dollars. When Baker closes until the trails melt out and School goes on vacation is our worst season but we know this and plan for it. I dearly love this community and so glad I moved out of Seattle when I did.
