May 2016 Blog
Hi everyone, Yes I know its’ been awhile since I wrote for
this blog but with the weekly podcast many of the things I need to talk about
get out there already. I thought I would
spend a few moments to update everyone on what is going on at Fantasy Gifts in
Minnesota, I wrote Minnesota because some of you may already know that we have
two stores in New Jersey but for those of you who didn’t and wonder why New
Jersey ? This is why. My Dad is from Hammonton a wonderful little town half way
between Atlantic City and Philadelphia and eons ago when he wanted to retire he
didn’t go to Florida he went back to Jersey and promptly got bored and opened
stores there. My Brother and his wife run them and they are great stores and
they have their own website because South Jersey and Minnesota are very
different in what folks shop for so each of our websites reflects the their
brick and mortar stores personalities.
Here is Minnesota we are getting ready for Pride on the last
full weekend in June and this year we will have our largest booth yet and many
of our vendors are sending special merchandise plan-o-grams and reps to work
the booth with us.
We have been remodeling many of our stores, St. Paul,
Fridley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Crystal, and Lakeville. New slatwall, paint, fixtures and lighting
were installed as it was time to update with a new look and really focus on some
of the great new brands we have. We have
new registers in the store too, the first time ever in almost 37 years of
business that we have the exact same one in every store! The new credit card chip readers have been in
for 8 or so months I can’t believe how many other companies still don’t have
them functioning yet.
If you haven’t visited recently we have also extended hours
at all Minnesota locations. We are open at
10 AM till 11PM Monday thru Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 8pm. It has been great folks aren’t as rushed and
our employees have more hours too.
We are also working on a monthly newsletter, you can sign up
on the Fantasy Gifts Minnesota website and I promise it won’t be overwhelming
emails. We barley can maintain 35 plus
social media sites but if you do sign up you will know what is new in merchandise
at Fantasy Gifts, know what the product of the month is and be entered to win
gift baskets and be informed of other
giveaways and promotions
