Ten PLUS Ten Memorial Weekend Furniture Sale

Memorial weekend is a big weekend in the furniture business.  I think last year was the first year we did a Home Furnishings Memorial Day sale right.  We’ve got this ad and a flyer coming out on Friday in the Grand Forks Herald. 

Right now Homecrest lawn furniture is HOT.  This is the line of American made lawn furniture that’s made to last.  This would be a great time to upgrade your outdoor furniture on your patio or your lake cabin. 

The other thing that’s going great is our line of Amish made furniture.  The leader of this is Countrywide Furniture who make most of our Amish wood furniture.  We have a great line of Amish upholstered furniture made by Smith Brothers who make their stuff to last as well.

This is a four day sale.  It goes from this Friday until Memorial Day.  (The 22nd to the 25th).  Our hours for the weekend are Friday: 8-8; Saturday 8-6; Sunday Noon to 5; and Monday we have special Memorial Day hours 9-5!

We’ll see you this weekend.

We are fairly unusual in our approach to setting store hours.  We believe that the store managers need to be involved in what’s important for their store.  Our stores are in different markets, are strong in different areas and have their own personalities.  We need to tailor our offerings to what’s important to the consumers in the town that we’re in while balancing the family needs of our team members.
