Overview of Alcohol Sales Trends in Henderson

Over the past year, Henderson has seen some intriguing shifts in its alcohol sales landscape. The total receipts for alcohol sales hit their peak in May 2025, with a notable $1,197,500 collected across 56 establishments. This marked a healthy increase of 6.54% from the previous month, despite a slight drop in the number of establishments, which decreased by 3.45%.

Monthly Sales Patterns and Variations

Looking at the monthly data, there's a clear fluctuation in total receipts, with a significant spike in March 2025 where sales jumped by 27.86% compared to February. This surge could indicate a seasonal trend or a one-off event boosting sales. Interestingly, the increase in March didn't correlate with an increase in the number of establishments, suggesting existing locations experienced higher sales volumes.

In contrast, periods like September 2024 saw a 10.52% drop in sales from August, despite a small increase in establishments. This dip might suggest a post-summer slowdown or market saturation.

Sales Mix: Liquor, Wine, and Beer

When breaking down the sales mix, liquor consistently leads the pack, making up a substantial portion of monthly receipts. May 2025 was no exception, with liquor sales reaching $745,734. Beer sales, while significant, tend to fluctuate less dramatically, with May 2025 showing an increase to $372,395.

Wine sales, on the other hand, exhibit more volatility. August 2024 saw a peak in wine sales at $94,308, which sharply contrasts with lower figures like those in July 2024 at $58,339. This variability might suggest shifts in consumer preferences or promotional activities affecting wine purchases.

Market Implications and Insights

The data indicates a resilient market with opportunities for growth, especially in promoting wine and capitalizing on liquor's strong performance. The increase in total receipts despite a dip in establishments suggests that remaining businesses are capturing more market share or benefiting from higher per-establishment sales.

For businesses looking to tap into these trends, focusing on liquor and understanding the factors driving wine sales could be key strategies. Additionally, recognizing seasonal patterns and aligning marketing efforts accordingly might help in maximizing sales during peak months.
