Thanksgiving Sales

December 2, 2010: Thanksgiving Sales

The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone.  One of the most hectic times for the bakery and one of the largest sales days of the entire year.  After people have filled their stomachs with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and one or several of our pies it is time for the numbers to come in for bakery.  How did we do for sales?

On an average week the bakery pulls in approximately $25,000.  Last Thanksgiving we sold approximately $37,000 for the week.  The bakery workers waited with bated breath as the numbers came in: $41,265 for the week: the greatest sales week that the department has ever had and high enough for the largest sales week in the entire company.  It just goes to show the heart and dedication of the workers in the department.  Every worker put in over 50 hours of work over the last week including the part timers.  The department sold over 8,000 pies overall and thousands of other baked goods. 

Needless to say it was an amazing week for the department.  Very very tiring, but the numbers in the end were far worth the effort.

Until next time...

Stay Sweet,
