During a visit to Mexico Jada was Thursday I wanted to buy a drink it was the middle of the day yet Jada could not find a store that was open what best explains why Jada could not find an open store

The best explanation for this is that Jada was trying to buy something in the time of the Siesta - a short period of time in the middle of the day when the shops are closed and the workers can rest motivated by high temperatures (but actually, there practice of Siesta is not very widespread in Mexico).
