Car park weather protection

Have you ever noticed a shopping centre being a little busier on a rainy day? Shopping centres generally have undercover parking which means that on raining days you aren’t running in the rain with a full trolley trying pack stuff in your boot. If your store has an open car park, a shade structure could significantly increase your foot traffic on rainy days. Even if there only a small uplift in sales on rainy days, it would easily pay for the cost of installing a car park shade structure within a twelve-month period.
