Earlier this month, managers at FlynnO’Hara’s say going early was the best option to beat the post-pandemic rush when they average about 25 to 300 customers a day.
“Once we get into August, it ramps up to five, six, 700,” says district manager Anthony Algieri. “Labor Day weekend, it hits 1,100 in one day.”
In statement to News 12, FlynnO’Hara’s said the national labor shortage and earlier returns to class for some schools impact the wait time.
