Thanksgiving weekend

[Pjauto]

This is my first Thanksgiving as a shop owner/ boss. Is the Friday after usually slow? Should we be closed for a four day weekend? My two guys I have working for me have family from out of town and it would be a blessing to them to be gone and not have to come right back, but they will if I ask them. What are your thoughts?

^{We never close either. We have too many customer that need service that day, plus all the college students are home for the weekend. Different parts of the country are different. Ask business owners in the area about traffic that day, speak to other shops too in your area. It's a business decision, but not the end of the world. I know some shops work longer hours the three days prior to Thanksgiving, and inform customer they will be closed the Friday after.}

 

^{This is why you get paid the big bucks, to make this tough decisions. Good luck and most of all HAPPY THANKSGIVING!}

I close the Friday after Thanksgiving. I don't want to be at the shop that day and I can't expect my guys to be either. I am looking forward to spending a bunch of free time with my kids.

Were closing Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I've got a two year old that far more important than fixing cars or money lol
