Sunday October 5th
Lots of progress has been made todate. Most of the merchandise is in and put away. Next Tuesday we will receive a fill-in truck. Harry has been busy hooking up the cameras and completeing all the challenging projects that I can throw at him. The whole staff has been doing a great job following the ACE plan-o-grams and getting everything into the right spot. Staring Monday we will be "tweeking" the areas that need it.
SIGNS ARE UP !!
The signs were installed earlier this week and ever since we have had a steady stream of people coming to the door. We posted a sign telling them that we will be open on Oct 2oth... Please come back!
This is the sign over the door. Our entrance is recessed with two smaller stores on either side. My store fills in behind theirs.
We also put up all the aisle and department signs, which really makes a big difference.
This is a view of the "Tool Corral" that we created up front next to the checkouts.
This is the paint mixing counter and the Benjamin Moore and ACE paint color chip racks. We (Harry) also set up the color matching computer. Most of the paint has also been set up on the shelves behind.
This center open area will house many seasonal items like Christmas trees, gift ideas and pallets of lawn clean up bags in the Fall and patio sets and Bar-B-Ques in the spring and summer.
