Ramadan is here; so is an immense opportunity to tap surge in demand of specific foods and needs. For independent stores, Ramadan isn’t just another month on the calendar—it’s a chance to step into the rhythm of their customers’ lives and make a meaningful impact, both commercially and culturally. This sacred period of fasting, reflection, and togetherness also brings a unique shift in shopping behaviors—one that savvy retailers should embrace to strengthen customer relationships and boost sales. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, spans 30 days and follows a lunar cycle. In 2025, Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of February 28 and conclude on March 29.
