82 days and counting

So, the weather is changing and it is very obvious by what customers are buying. The clothing departments looked as though mini-tornadoes passed through Kentucky yesterday via our store. However, despite how badly things looked, sales are definitely up as folks try to make sure that their little ones are covered up and warm at the bus stop.

The other areas that are starting to see attention from our shoppers are the Halloween department, and the toys. I'd recommend starting early...we have our toy department set for the most part, so what you see now is what you'll see in November and December. The domestics departments are set too...you'll find flannel sheets on the end caps now. Need Christmas candles...if you look hard enough you'll find those too.

Did anyone hear about Jumpstart's Read for the Record? Well, the goal was to read the book Corduroy to as many kids as possible on October 2nd, to set a world record. We had volunteers in our store reading to the kids who came in - 16 in total. I guess every little bit helps.
