February 2025 Sales Report. Heading into recession?

Hi Friends! We’re back with our monthly sales report for February.

The key takeaway? Sales were low. February was particularly challenging due to severe winter weather. One of our busiest days—Sunday, February 16—was hit hard by a snowstorm in Toronto, costing us approximately $2,500 in lost sales.

Beyond the weather, we’ve spoken with many business owners, and it seems 2024 has been tough for a lot of people. While there hasn’t been much media coverage, many feel like we’re already heading into a recession (have you heard about Hudson Bay yet?). Businesses across different industries are seeing revenue declines, and with ongoing concerns about tariffs and political instability, it’s crucial to be prepared for anything.

What do you think? Are you noticing signs of a weaker economy, or is it just us? Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to discuss!
