Christmas Sale Night!!! It’s getting that time of year again. Holiday Season!!! Keepers Corner is hosting our annual Christmas Sale, December 10, 2008. We will close the store at 5:00PM and re-open at 6:00 PM for a “20% off everything in the store” sale. The sale will run until 9:00 PM (or until all the customers leave!!!) You will not be charged an additional 12% commission that night. More details will be in the December Newsletter, but if you want to see the information sheet sooner, just ask Scott or Bonnie. If any of you could volunteer some extra time, it would be appreciated. Last year our sales for the night sale were tremendous!! Well worth the effort!
Now on to a sad note: We are experiencing some vandalism here in the store. A few vendors have had salt dumped on their shelves, and one has had some spice cans emptied out in the aisle. We have also had some other serious vandalism done to beautiful furniture items. It is a deliberate act. There have been scratches, pen gouges, and scribbles. I would hope that it isn’t coming from within our ranks. I do want you to know that we are taking steps to find out who it is, and when they are caught, we will call the police and do all we can do to see that they are prosecuted.
Keeper’s Corner Expanded Upstairs!!! We opened the building’s second floor!!! Spaces are available for those bigger pieces you don’t want taking up space in your booths. See Bonnie, Scott or any of the staff for information!!! (Oh, by the way, we are giving you a bonus, if you rent upstairs for three months, we will give you the fourth month FREE!!) Check with us and see if we can make you a “deal” on upstairs space.
Store Display: The next store front display will be changed around Thanksgiving to a Christmas Display. So bring in your Christmas items by Thanksgiving!! We may not use all of the items brought in but it will sell in your booth.
Reminders:
• We will be closed Thanksgiving Day 2:00Pm on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, 2:00 PM on New Years Eve, and New Years Day.
• Rent is due on the 1st of the month, payable up to the 10th and late with a $10 late fee after that date
• A thirty day written notice is required when you are vacating your booth at the end of the month. This applies when you are leaving after your initial six months OR at any other time after your 6 month commitment is over
• Ask the management about the “Finders Fee” bonus!!
Scott’s Thoughts: Having too much fun!!!! The trip to Hawaii was great getting to see my oldest son but they can keep Hawaii. A great place visit but… The trip back on the aircraft Abraham Lincoln was great. Where else could I cruise for 6 days on a ship 1,092 feet long, 5,900 people on board, sleep 102 people in an area 20 feet x 80 feet, lots of tours of the ship and shooting off and landing aircraft at 170 MPH. Oh well what more can I say… If you would like to see some of the 447 pictures, let me know. Bonnie and I had a great visit in Utah seeing my mom and we are glad to be back. Again, thanks to all for the support of the store.
