Fun Facts for Father’s Day [Infographic]

Between our grill giveaway, ten days of deals and our Father’s Day gift guide, we’ve been giving a lot of thought to how we spend our time and our money on Dad. We thought you might like to see some of the facts and statistics that we found while putting it all together for you. For instance, did you know that in the United States there are twice as many hardware stores and three times as many sporting good stores than men’s clothing stores? Or that we spend most of our Father’s Day cash on taking Dad out to eat? Heck, did you know that Father’s Day not only has an official flower, but that there’s actually a debate about which flower it should be? Neither did we!

We’ve organized some of our favorite facts and stats into a Father’s Day infographic to share with you. Enjoy!

Many thanks to graphic designer Travis Hodge for turning my badly sketched notes into this awesome infographic.

P.S. The Brad’s Deals team wishes our favorite new dad, Brad, a happy first Father’s Day!
