Speaking to the points about foot traffic in the town center, I thought I'd share the customer counts that the Farmer's Market has been tracking this summer. Jim Coleman, our tireless and passionate market coordinator, bought one of those clicky crowd counter things and has been faithfully recording the customer volume, so that we can better understand our market.
<br><br>Knowing the customer volume and gross sales at the Dumm's Corner, Dumm's Pizza, and S&J would be also be useful benchmarks for marketing this area. We are working on getting a closer handle on the gross sales that happen at the Farmer's Market.
