It's time to audit your store hours | coreWEEKLY

Welcome back to coreWEEKLY, your go-to guide for working smarter, not harder, in retail. Most gun stores and ranges set their operating hours years ago and never looked back, but it may be time to re-evaluate. Your hours are a form of inventory, meaning dead hours waste payroll, while the wrong closing time leaves money on the table. In the spirit of maximizing your store's efficiency, this week we're looking at how to audit your schedule and treat your hours like the valuable assets they are.

This week's corePOW walks through the FFL Database and Contact Lookup, showing you how to save time and instantly pull license details into your system with less effort. Plus, check out our new Resource Center guides to learn how to maximize your operations on the Coreware system. Save the date for our Compliance COREner webinar on August 12th. In the meantime, catch up on the fresh replay of Coreware + Action Target to see the future of range operations.

Let’s dive right into this week's playbook!

Most gun stores and shooting ranges did not arrive at their current operating hours through a careful study of customer behavior. The schedule was probably set when the business opened, copied from a nearby competitor, or built around the owner’s availability. Years later, those same hours may still be posted on the door even though the customer base, staffing costs, local competition, and condition of the firearms market have all changed.

In this episode of corePOW, Ezra and Joel highlight a powerful Coreware feature that helps FFL dealers and firearms retailers save time, work faster, and pull in better contact information with less effort. This walkthrough shows how the Coreware platform makes it easier to search the FFL database, create business contacts, and instantly bring important license and location details directly into the system.
