What days of the week are retail shops in Nebraska busiest?

Fridays and Saturdays are busy at retail shops across the country, and things were no different for Nebraska retail businesses.

 

 

Fridays were particularly big, as 19% of all retail revenue in Nebraska came in on that day alone. On average, only 37% of retailers keep their doors open on Sundays in Nebraska, making it easily the slowest day of the week overall.

 

Among transacting businesses, Saturday was the busiest day of the week in terms of foot traffic, with Nebraska retail businesses processing an average of 14 transactions per day.

 

Nebraskans spend more per transaction on weekdays, with Tuesdays claiming the largest average ticket size of the week at $74.89 per ticket. Still, average ticket price remains fairly consistent throughout the week except for Sundays, when lower-ticket-item shops are perhaps more likely to remain open than higher-end boutiques.

 

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

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

May was the biggest month of the year overall for retail shops in the Cornhusker 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 3rd.

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 Nebraska retailers: December 16th through the 22nd.

 

Top 5 days for Nebraska retail businesses

Mother's Day shopping was responsible for the biggest day of the year, and a total of three of the top five days of the year overall, reiterating just how big the holiday is for Nebraska retailers. The Friday and Saturday before Christmas, meanwhile, were the other two top five days of the year.
