Thanks!
You are absolutely right about hours of operation.
Even the banks are open longer hours than traditional "Bankers Hours".
Especially when you have to make a pilgrimage to get to the not-so-local LHS. If I don't get out of work until 5 and it'll take me more than an hour to get to the LHS, You'd better be open when I get there after 6.
Which also means that you'd better keep your website up to date.
I tried to get to a hobby shop, only to find out that they were on "Summer Hours" and closed earlier than what was posted on the website..
I don't expect people to be crowding into a hobby shop at 9am, but I'd think that it would be busy after 6pm.
Be open for the lunch hour and after...
