This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone but Home of Economy is going to be closed on Thanksgiving Day so that our Team Members are able to enjoy the holiday with their family.

We are opening up at 8am with our Giant Christmas Gifts flyer PLUS a one day only sale.

So go ahead and sleep in a bit on Friday and we’ll have the coffee on for you at 8 am.

Our Home of Economy Testimonial Ad

Here’s our testimonial ad that we’ve ran since the summer.  We normally only do ads with item and price, but once in a while it’s nice to try to establish your identity out in the marketplace. 

I thought this ad turned out well and it hit a number of really big categories like Tires, Batteries, Honda, Carhartt, FR. 

This is the first ad we’ve posted for some time.  Formally I posted them on Yahoo Video due to bandwidth considerations here in Grand Forks.  We’ve upgraded so we’ll start posting the videos to Youtube which isn’t going to disappear like Yahoo Video did.

Home of Economy Still Has Lay-Away

I have to laugh at some of the national retailers making a big deal about how they re-instituted layaway.

Home of Economy has had layaway for as long as I’ve been around.  We think long and hard about taking away a service that our customers need. 

Layaway isn’t a cheap service to offer.  The biggest cost is what to do with the products if someone doesn’t pick up the products.  A lot of the time the season for those products (toys at Christmas for example) is past and we wind up selling the products for a discount.

On the other hand it’s a service that many of our customers have appreciated over the years and we’ve never been willing to tell them no.

The actions by these national retailers show that we’ve been right all along.
