What time of year do retail shops in Maryland make the most money?

Marylanders clearly love to shop regardless of the season, but what does the average year look like from week to week at retail shops in Maryland? Let's take a look.

May was the biggest month of the year overall for retail shops in the Old Line State, no doubt thanks to a huge lift from Mother's Day Weekend. The week leading up to the holiday was the 2nd biggest week of the year, and the week before that was the 9th.

While May may have been the biggest month of the year overall, the holiday shopping season was responsible for the single-biggest week of the year for Maryland retailers: December 16th through the 22nd.

 

Top 5 days for Maryland retail businesses

The holiday shopping season was responsible for the biggest day of the year, and a total of two of the top five days of the year overall. And, as you might expect based on how big the week of Mother's Day is for retailers in Maryland, the Saturday before the holiday was the second biggest day of the year overall.
