Businesses have been generally pretty good.

It's been back and forth.

We've had a few really cold days, and so when it's super cold, a lot of people generally don't want to come out and buy plants, and we encourage people not to because we don't want plants to die.

So on the days that it's been really cold, it's been significantly slower.

But also we have Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, and so usually we're pretty busy.

Then after that, it's going to get warmer, so it's kind of nice to have a little bit of a downtime in January, early February, because then we can get a lot of our projects done.

We've definitely kept prices at the same at the store.

I've been trying to ramp up more of our services because at the end of the day, plants are a luxury item and people don't have money to afford luxury items right now.

So we've been ramping up our offerings to corporate offices, services and stuff like that.

One of the many services that we offer is doing interior plant design and installations for businesses and private homes.

So we have two or three private homes that we service and that we installed and take care of plants in.

And then we have about 10, 12 different businesses.

that we service and take care of plants and so i would like to get more of those accounts so that's one of the things that we have been focusing on i did hire a marketing person for the first time back in october and she's been great and we've been getting more calls and more interest and we have several leads that are happening but being buffalo and being in the winter we can't physically install anything until march april anyway so it's going to be a busy spring
