what is a period at grocery stores? What are considered normal periods at grocery stores? Slow periods?

Question

I'm talking about months.. not days of the week or times of the day.. 

Answer 1

My answer is for stores located in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Busy seasons will vary according to location, at least to some extent. For example, consider a country like Costa Rica, where it's basically summery weather all year long. Grocery stores there probably don't have a 'slow winter season' like in the PNW, simply because there isn't really a winter there.

January - February: slow

March - May: store gradually gets busier, 'normal'

June - August: busiest period other than end-of-year holidays

September - mid November: gradually less business, but 'normal'

mid-November to New Year's: very busy

Source(s): worked in grocery stores for about 15 years

Answer 2

I could not tell you. Normal seasonality would be thrown out the window in a pandemic though.
