Good day-
I am hoping to get a feel for what other business owners are feeling across the county. I own a retail business in Seattle Washington and noticed a 30% drop in revenue in October 2022. I am friends with a lady who owns 5 pizza franchisee in the same area and she also noticed a 30% drop in October. It was a hard winter for both of us. But we both found that our numbers normalized in April and I am now growing in May.
Things are feeling normal again. I have an 7 applicants for each job opening so can be picky. Something that has not happened since 2019. The price of supplies has come down from the Covid high. I feel like we were in a recession this winter but have come out of it.
How are business in other areas. Did revenue drop? Is it back to normal? Can you find staff? Have the cost of supplies still Covid high prices or have they come in line.
Just trying to get a pulse on what is going on. I am feeling optimistic.
