Subject: [TheThinkTank] How many weekly "open hours" does your shop have?

Hi,

Joel Gillespie from The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, here. We're looking at re-vamping our shop hours schedule, and I'm trying to gather some information from other collectives on how many hours you're open to the public and/or members each week. Also, if you have specific uses for any of those hours, like sales-only, or just for structured repair classes, etc., please point that out if you could. Any thoughts or insights you could share (on- or off-list) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
