According to its ShopperTrak Analytics, despite an unusually late Labor Day (Sept. 7, 2026), overall timing and in-store visit counts are expected to remain relatively consistent, with the busiest shopping days predicted to fall between Aug. 2 and 28 across all regions.<\/p>\n<p>\nBased on Sensormatic Solutions in-store shopper activity data, its analytics team predicts the busiest in-store shopping weeks are likely to be:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>South:<\/b> Aug. 2-8\n<\/li>\n<li><b>West: <\/b>Aug. 2-8\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Midwest:<\/b> Aug. 9-15\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Northeast:<\/b> Aug. 16-29\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cThough our predicted busiest days align nicely with last year\u2019s trends, retailers should approach the season with the understanding that the landscape around them has changed significantly,\u201d said Grant Gustafson, head of Retail Consulting and Analytics at Sensormatic Solutions. \u201cEach region\u2019s unique school calendar, the global supply chain, and consumer behavior trends may impact how shoppers show up this year\u2014and each presents an opportunity for retailers to win new customers and build loyalty by fine-tuning product assortments, promotions, and operations that can transform an annual errand into a meaningful, satisfying experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSaturdays in August are expected to see the largest single-day crowds of the season, with peak traffic anticipated between 2 and 3 p.m. As a result, the highest-volume days are likely to round out each 2026 rush:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>South:<\/b> Saturday, Aug. 8\n<\/li>\n<li><b>West:<\/b> Saturday, Aug. 8\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Midwest:<\/b> Saturday, Aug. 15\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Northeast:<\/b> Saturday, Aug. 29\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cWe expect that each region\u2019s busiest day will occur roughly two weeks before the local school year begins, a timing driven by the school calendar that varies by market,\u201d said Gustafson. \u201cRetailers should consider forecasting traffic volume relative to each market&#8217;s start date, rather than copying another region&#8217;s strategy. This school calendar-driven, region-specific approach may be the key to success this back-to-school season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nFor the latest on Sensormatic Solutions back-to-school analysis, follow @sensormatic on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fsensormatic%2F&amp;esheet=54556945&amp;newsitemid=20260624407233&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=LinkedIn&amp;index=3&amp;md5=f17ea6fb6711cb07d65b6b44752f7aac\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Johnson Controls<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nJohnson Controls, a global leader in thermal management, mission-critical building systems, energy efficiency, and decarbonization, helps customers use energy more productively, reduce carbon emissions, and operate with the precision and resilience required in rapidly expanding industries such as data centers, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing, and higher education.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more than 140 years, Johnson Controls has delivered performance where it really matters.
