Abstract
I utilize the predictable stockpiling of instant noodles during move-in week in college towns to examine how national retailers adjust prices in response to large and localized demand peaks. I find unit sales of instant noodles increase over 250% during college move-in week compared to sales in non-college town stores. Furthermore, I find national retail chains do not adjust prices locally in response and maintain uniform pricing.
