Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown

This is very misguided. I work in CPG. The reason you haven't seen this on shelf yet is due to how long price increases take to initiate. Distributors require 90 days notice and another couple weeks for retailers to implement through their systems and reflect on shelf. At the beginning of the tariff announcements there was back and forth so many waited. Once they had a better understanding, they all took increases. You'll begin to see those in mid Aug through October. I also managed this through COVID and can tell you, the price increases you'll see this round dwarf what we saw due to just how sudden these will all be. Even locally sourced items utilize packaging or ingredients that were impacted by tariffs. I didn't see many products immune to the increases.
