City Sales Tax Leaders

November 7, 2013

While we wait with bated breath for the Council vote to be finalized (probably next Tuesday, Nov. 12th), here are the Top 25 sales tax revenue generators in town (in alpha order) for Q2:

Apple, Bayshore Shell (love their car wash!), Benihana (had a good meal there this year), Chevron, Color Copy, Elephant Bar, Fiat, Garratt Callahan, the Hyatt, Hyundai, Il Fornaio (always a good choice), Kern's, Marriott (had a great two day business meeting there last month), Mike Harvey Acura and Honda, Payless Car Rental, Putnam (x4 dealerships), Rector, Safeway, Technical Instrument, Walgreens and WW Grainger.

Overall we were up 8.3% year-over-year in Q2 and Autos and Transportation continue to be the Golden Goose.

No problem. I see it in a quarterly printed flyer from the city, but the numbers are put together by the Hdl Companies. Their website is http://www.hdlcompanies.com and they do this sort of thing for a variety of municipalities, counties and special districts.
No email version–you just have to keep visiting!
