Due to the start of school, the stores expect heavy traffic

Supermarkets are expecting heavy traffic this weekend; most families go shopping for school after August 20, and weekends through mid-September are particularly busy – department store chains told MTI.

Auchan Magyarország told MTI that the peak period, similarly to previous years, started after August 20. This weekend is expected to be the busiest. Starting school year shopping is one of the biggest shopping for families of the year. In August, there is a ten-fold increase in school supplies in their Auchan stores compared to a non-school month. September traffic is the quarter of that. (MTI)
