Tax Free WHEW!
As we recover from the craziness that is Tax Free Weekend, I just had to give a shout out to all our fantastic customers.
First though, a confession….I greatly dislike Tax Free Weekends. I know it saves everyone some money, but it really comes with a cost. Sandy’s is the top source for kid’s shoes in Central Texas because of our expertise and service. Tax Free craziness really hampers that service. At several times during the weekend we must have had 25 families in the store at one time. We rarely had less than 8 families in at any given time. Try as we did, it is just difficult to give the kind of service that is unique to Sandys.
So a great big thank you to all the families who put up with the madness and extended such grace to our overwhelmed staff!
We saw a record number of families and had a double digit increase in sales volume. The overall vibe over our new location continues to be positive and we will be ironing out some of the wrinkles to serve you all better in the future. The construction in front of the store will be finished August 30th!!! We have some new neighbors who will begin construction very soon. Great Clips will be next door to us and next to them a Frozen Yogurt shop (yum). Game Stop will take one corner spot and Elevation Burger will be next to Dos Batos on the other corner. So good things are ahead.
So thanks again for your support of a local business trying to make a difference in our community.
