PETER CRANIS: November TDT has come in at $1.839 million – an increase of 3.12% for the month and 12.8% higher than the prior November in 2023, making it the best November in TDT history.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – November TDT has come in at $1.839 million – an increase of 3.12% for the month and 12.8% higher than the prior November in 2023, making it the best November in TDT history.

Collections for the first two months of the fiscal year are up 1.1% over the prior year. This speaks well to the strength of the Thanksgiving season, as well as the good weather and higher number of launches that month.

December is currently tracking very closely to December 2024, so we will see how our overall Fall turns out, but December will be the deciding month.
