There are just about\u00a035 million Americans that claim to be Irish! That is over seven times the entire population of Ireland!<\/p>\n

All of those 35 million,\u00a0 plus the millions of non-Irish Americans will celebrate full force today\u00a0 –\u00a0 in addition to celebrations over the weekend. All in honor of\u00a0Ireland\u2019s patron saint.<\/p>\n

Between green beer, parades, and other celebrations, St. Patrick\u2019s Day spending reaches an astounding $4.14 billion! It’s\u00a0a big job for\u00a0logistics, working behind the scenes, managing order fulfillment services<\/p>\n

On St. Patrick\u2019s Day, the amount of Guinness\u00a0sales can jump from\u00a0five million pints per day to an incredible 13 million! The annual St. Patrick\u2019s Day parade in New York City, which has taken place every year since 1762, can have 150 bands, up to 250,000 marchers, and two million spectators.<\/p>\n

In addition,\u00a0for over 50 years, the city of Chicago has dyed the Chicago River green as part of their annual celebration! Can you guess how many pounds of green dye it takes to turn the Chicago River green? It takes 40 lbs.\u00a0of dye to keep the river flowing green for just one day.<\/p>\n

St. Patrick\u2019s Day is by no means a minor holiday. Across the country, 39% percent of Americans say they celebrate.\u00a0Many companies have taken advantage of that spending, and adjusted their order fulfillment services to keep supply on pace with demand.<\/p>\n
