Friday is the busiest day (24% of in-store restocks) and the busiest window is 12 PM – 3 PM Eastern. In-store restocks follow delivery schedules, so the pattern is steadier than online drops.

RestockR Ultimate members set a ZIP code and radius in the app and get a push or Discord alert when a store inside that radius shows stock, with the store address and the quantity seen. Local alerts are part of RestockR Ultimate ($5.99/month, 3 days free).

From RestockR's in-store stock record: every time a store's shelf count went from zero to in stock, that sighting is logged with the store. "Columbia, SC area" means within 40 miles of Columbia. Times are Eastern; sightings newer than 24 hours show no exact time.
