April & May - Springing Forward
April beat expectations, coming in at just over $6 million - not bad for a 30 day month! May came in at just under $6 million, which on the surface seems low for a 31-day month, but.... there were 5 weekends in May, and weekend days typically have much lower sales numbers than weekdays, since most items end on weekdays. So despite having 31 total days, only 21 of those days in May were weekdays, compared to April, which had 22 weekdays. So fret not, everyone - relatively speaking, May was another great month. Super job everyone!
