The preseason is normally dead quiet for South Philly print shops. Then the Philadelphia Flyers schedule a home tune-up against the Boston Bruins at Xfinity Mobile Arena and the phones start ringing. Last week three shops on Broad Street reported flyers orders up 300% in seven days. Game day demand is real and it moves fast.
It is not about the hockey alone. It is about foot traffic, impulse, and a three-hour window before puck drop when fans are hungry for food, merch, and a cheap beer. That window is gold for local businesses. Printed flyers are the cheapest way to grab it.
