A small local grocery has seen a decline in sales in the past few months. The owner has made no changes to the store in the last year. In the beginning, the owner thought the sales drop might be seasonal. However, looking at the past few years of sales data, the owner noticed that there had not been any decrease in sales during the same time in the previous years.
