: Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial starting gun of summer โ but did you know it's also one of the top five highest-revenue retail weekends in the entire country? ๐บ๐ธ
It started as a solemn national holiday in 1868, set aside to honor fallen soldiers with flowers and ceremonies at their graves. Over the decades it quietly became something else too โ the weekend America collectively decides summer is open for business.
Today, Memorial Day weekend generates billions in restaurant sales, retail purchases, and hospitality revenue across the country. For beach towns like Myrtle Beach, it isn't just a busy weekend. It's the starting pistol for the most important stretch of the entire year. ๐๏ธ
Which means if your system isn't ready by Friday, you're already behind.
At Value Systems, we'd rather have that conversation with you in April than at 6 PM on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend when the line is out the door and a terminal decides it's done for the day.
Peak season waits for nobody. Is your system ready?
