SPRINGFIELD FOOD TRUCKS RESEARCH AND FACTS: Since moving here in 2020 I have noticed that Springfield is not the most popular place for food trucks . I really have no idea why this is maybe because there are so many fast food restaurants and  regular food outlets in Springfield. Someone told me when I moved here that Springfield was  a city that was used to test fast food chains. I have no idea if that was true or not to this day. I can only go by living here for the past 5 years to tell you my experience . In 2024 the estimated population including all the outside towns and cities near Springfield was estimated at 496,975,...

                                            WHY IS IT CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER? So I find myself walking around Lowes and Walmart in the first few days of October and I notice the sections for HALLOWEEN are small and the stores already have tons of Christmas stuff out. I ask myself what is the story here?  Why are retail stores pouncing on Christmas so early? HERE IS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION: THE RETAIL INDUSTRY IS BANKING ON CHRISTMAS SALES AND MONEY. Researching the reports from consumer and government agencies last year in 2024 Halloween drove in 11.6 billion in revenue sales, This was down from 2023 that drove in 12.3 billion in revenue sales. Compared to the Christmas that drove in 994.1 billion dollars and this was up 4% from 2023. Online sales for Christmas also rose from 2023 to 2024 by 8.6 % reaching close to 296 billion dollars.
