Market TIme / Store Update

We had a busy but good market in Atlanta. We made some good orders for new products and met some nice people. We spent all day from about 8:30am - 8:30pm at the market Thursday and Friday and most of Saturday. We stayed out by the airport and rode MARTA downtown. There was all sorts of new products and the food section was especialy yummy. It was more spread out this year with the new building being open. We learned about buying linens and children's clothing which was a new experience. We just needed more money!!
We are looking forward to the new items arriving in the store soon. We are also looking into some advertising venues. We are promoting a customer loyalty club as well. In February we hope to have a bedding event at the store and a John Harte graduation event will happen in April. Things are slow but Frank has been busy getting the system set up and things running smoothly.

Market Time

We are headed to Atlanta tonight for the Market and will return to Columbia Sunday. Hopefully we will be able to find some great new items for the store. We will have cell phones with us if there is an emergency.
Today is 7th day of store ownership and things have been slow to take off but I think Frank finally has all of the equipment in place and working. We are looking forward to increasing business soon with added merchandise lines and advertising.

Frank IV will be visiting again with Grandma and Pap.
