Its been awhile since I last wrote and alot has changed at the store. If you haven’t been in recently you should stop in and see what my very talented interns from WCTC and MATC Interior Design Programs have done to the store. The entire store has been repainted with the latest trend paint colors. They experimented with stripes and stencils this semester and the finished product is getting rave reviews from our customers. Look for our new upholstered furniture line from Southern Furniture Company to come in shortly and see the coordination with the color concepts in the store.
If you come in soon you will find some great values and markdowns in the store. We are running into a few problems in that we have lots of new merchandise arriving weeekly and unfortunately we still have some leftovers from last season. Could it be we are growing out of our space? What a great problem/opportunity to have. You might see some major developments later this year regarding location. I’ll get back to you when I know more.
Speaking of knowing more, when was the last time you read Milwaukee Magazine. Check out page 84 in the May 2009 issue. The article called Reshaping Retail is good stuff. You will get alittle insight into what smaller retailers like myself are doing to stay afloat and beat the odds during this economic storm. Which reminds me to remind you the consumer to support your community and shop local.
