Our coffee house has been open just short of a year now. We have noticed a trend on Saturdays that is less than desireable. Our Saturdays have become so slow that it's nearly not worth being open at all on that day. Most of our business is during the week from early morning commuters through our drive-thru and recently adding grab-and-go lunch has boosted our afternoon sales as well. We hope to be filling our Saturday nights with live entertainment through the summer months so are pondering only opening on Sat. nights for that. We're located in a small town with very few destination/retail spots; however, we do see 40-60,000 (yes, that's right) cars a day pass by our shop, which is located on the A.M. side...perfect location for commuters. Has anyone else had experience to share with only being open on weekdays and how has that worked out for you?
