## Resource

Labor Day weekend turned out to be a game-changer for summer-dependent businesses, with cooler temps and major events flooding downtowns with shoppers. After scorching heat earlier in the week crushed sales—some stores saw zero revenue—milder weather and festive crowds revived foot traffic. With 22% of consumers planning Labor Day deals (up from 12% two years ago), savvy shops are rolling out outdoor discounts and value-driven tactics to lure budget-conscious shoppers—and turn this final stretch into a profitable season closer.
