Father’s Day was a good weekend, and we saw good sales for the week. The cooler weather has definitely been enjoyable, and it appears that we will have pleasant weather again this weekend.
Reminder: Food Trucks need to be in place prior to 9:30am, and the road closure does not open until at least 4:30pm – this is a safety protocol, well-documented in the vendor handbook, and jumping the curb to leave early is not acceptable. CPD will ticket violators in the future; help us keep the public safe and just plan on departing at the scheduled time.
I went back and forth on the reports, only think I saw was 4 more vendors in the count and you bold typed the totals. And personnel goods beat Home goods.
What I found interesting was that the individual vendor averages were better at River Market than at the Chattanooga Market this last weekend (with the exception of farms, which is understandable as we do not have a lot of agriculture at River).
Tourism and downtown living seems to be strong for River, and Father’s Day creates it’s own distortion field for sure – but River was quite impressive.
I’ve always thought the River market was stronger than the Pavilion. The tourist factor ,they are only there for the day. At the Pavilion they come back every week, if they don’t want it ,they can always come back next week.
