Annual Birthday Party
It’s our Birthday Celebrating 32 Years serving Austin area families!
This saturday, May 8th, we are celebrating our 32nd year serving Austin area families. But did you know, our family has actually been fitting shoes since 1954? That is alot of shoes. I have been asked many times by kids in our store, “How many shoes have you tied?” I came up with a pretty good estimate; I have been fitting shoes since I was 14 years old in my family’s store in Illinois; since it usually takes at least 4 pair of shoes to be tried on before a purchase is made, I figure I have sold at least 20 pair a day X 4 to try on X 5 days a week X 37 years…the number is over 1.5 million pair! My fingers are aching right about now.
We are really excited about this Annual Birthday Bash we are throwing. Not just because we have Kiwi the clown coming from 10 a.m. til 1 p.m., and we are giving away free decorated cookies for the kids and we will have 20% off all toys in our new Melissa & Doug toy store. No, the reason we are excited is that our business is really growing right now. In the middle of a tough economy, and after moving into a great new store that is isolated and in front of a construction sight…business is actually better than ever! And we have you, our customers, to thank.
You all have been fantastic! You have embraced our relocation with enthusiasm and have shared the news of the move with lots of friends. (Keep this up please, we still need your help!) As we have engaged in communicating via e-mails, the response has been great. We have pledged to expand our brands and to have monthly events and lots more special offerings, and you have responded so positively…thank you.
We are adding new brands like Asics, Puma, Me Too, and Naturino. We will be featuring a ton of fashion boots this fall, and have greatly expanded our hairbow and sock selection. Also, we have committed, with the partnering of Aetrex i-Step technology, and the best running brands in the business- Asics and New Balance- to establish ourselves as Austin’s Premier source for Kids Running Gear. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has the expertise in fitting your young athlete correctly like we do.
So this year will continue to see new things and new excitement here at Sandy’s. Please come out this saturday, May 8th, and celebrate with us. Free helium balloons, decorated cookies, fun with Kiwi the clown, and great savings on the best toys around from Melissa & Doug.
