I have noticed over the years that if gasoline prices go up 10 cents at the pump their is a 10% drop in sales.Their is a leveling off if the price increase stays at the increase for a period of time but initally you get a dramatic decrease in sales.The gasoline prices in Little Rock have increased 40 cents over the past couple of months so you can imagine the effect it has had on sales.Throw in the traditional retail tax time slump and double wammy.The plain TWISTED truth of it is if your giving more to the oil companies you have less to spend on the things I sell.I don't sell things you need or have to have but those things you want the things that are fun.Hopefully the Gas Prices will stabilize soon.
