Retail is a tough way to make money.  

In a resort, or destination area it can be great.   Outrageous markup (1.25 for a can of Coke) definitely makes it worthwhile. 

You should come hang out with me some day, and buy me lunch at Coconut's 😁

Its really tough in a seasonal market. You have to make nearly all of your sales during the season to be profitable.

And Covid hit about the time season started last year.

Everyone ignored it around here.  Turned out to be a good call, inspite of the bashing taken from the big city news outlets..   Banner year for everyone.

What have we learned? 🤔

It can be. Memorial Day to Labor Day is only 13 weeks...but almost every one was down in 2Q 2020,  except for the trades. Those guy's had a boom year. My customers airport hotel & airport food/beverage businesses were down 75% or more this year. There back up to around 40% capacity now. Not sure how Bennett did this year. Took the RV lots of places this year, but stayed in no hotel, bought nothing when we traveled this year other than gasoline.
