How many of you close earlier on Fridays than the other week nights?
Right now my hours are
M-F 8am = 9pm
Sat 10am = 4pm
Closed on Sunday

Peak hours have been
M-F 7am = 10pm
Sat 10am = 8pm
Sun 1pm =6pm

October I may start closing at 8pm weeknights, but was thinking "how much would you lose if you closed at 6 or 7 on Friday evenings. Or is it better to keep M=F the same to keep confusion down?

Next Feb. I am thinking of:
M-F 7am - 10pm possibly change fri. to 7-8
Sat 10-6
Sun 1-4

But I am afraid of losing clients that are use to me being open longer on fri. sat. and sun.
Normal peak season is posted above.

Our slow season hours are currently:

M-Th 9-8
F/S 9-6
Sunday 10-4

We will expand them back when things pick back up.

As for Friday nights Mitzi, Fridays were always slow. I guess people were busy doing family things or partying. Saturdays have remained strong and Sundays are steady. Friday night, things still die about 4:30-5:00.

I was just thinking about this on Friday. We are always slow after about 6, especially this time of year with football games and family stuff. I am going to start closing at 6 on Friday instead of 9. If it doesn't work, I'll adjust it again.
