    Analysis and Interpretation

    From the above chart it is seen that the maximum number of customers are mostly during the

    weekends because they come with family and are free of work. Some customers do come on

    weekdays say mostly ladies to replenish their food stuff and some just enter whenever they feel

    any time to shop.
