We just keep moving!

We have been very busy with our day to day activites, the boys wrestling season and moving our Stevens Point store, and with Dane going back to UWSP, we haven't had any extra time to work on the move. Dale and I have worked some long hours going over in the evenings after work to put stuff together. Tomorrow is our last big chance set set up the sales area. The final push on Friday evening is when we move all the computer equipment, and get it up running for Monday. In our free time LOL we have been watching our boys in their wrestling season. They have done well and Drew will probably be up for an award at the banquet in two weeks. I will post a short clip of one of his matches. I will be adding pictures to the slide show as our move progresses so check back often, as it will not be a new post but there will be addional pictures. Please excuse my lackluster posting, but after 10:30 pm there is not much steam left in me. I tried posting the video but it didn't post so will that another time.

Ho,Ho, Ho

It's Christmas time in the shipping business. We have been amazed how efficient it has been this year. The weather has contributed to the normally huge shipping days, being very manageable. The two Mondays that were supposed to be our biggest days, we had a huge snowstorm and yesterday it was bitter cold with a high of 1 degree. I actually went to the store once and even that day Dane could have managed by himself. The traffic is more steady, the computers are running awesome and the employees are experienced, so the makes things run well. I monitor the traffic from home via camera, so I can go where necessary, if I am needed. When I don't have to go it is a good thing, as I don't get behind in the bookkeeping end. I will post some scenes from yesterday.

New Store Location!!

This post is for those of you who are interested in our new store location. Dale and I went over today and took pictures as the build out is completed, so we can get an idea of what the new store will look like. We are so full of excitement with the new location, feeling that all the business traffic and high visibility in that area is certain to boost our business. The pictures include the new sign that is installed, looking to the front door on the outside, and looking from the front of the store to the back of the store, and the back room.

Halloween at Hansen's

A lot has been going on so my blogging time has been majorily cut. The last couple weeks our focus was on negotiating a new lease for our Stevens Point store. We are excited to announce that our store will be moving 5 miles to the south to a new Plover location. It is in a brand new building in a high traffic area, which should help that store really take off. The amazing part of it all, is that the new landlord came to us and offered a honey of a deal, because their market research told them, they needed our kind of store in their new development. They offered us free rent until our current lease expires, so that we could not turn it down. Hopefully their market research bodes well for our business. We will keep you updated on these changes.

This weekend we went up to the Hansens. Bryce was gone hunting out west, but we had a great time with Tammy, kids and Tammy's mother, who I hadn't spent much time with in the last 25 years. It was great to be together, as Laurie was my sister-in-law for 14 years of my childhood. Friday night we went to the Prairie Farm Halloween festivities. Sat. I stayed with the little girls while Dale took the boys to a wrestling tournement, and Tammy and Laurie took her boys to a basketball tournement. Drew took champion so it was a good day for him. We had a lovely meeting yesterday and after lunch we headed out to Eau-Claire for supper with Blaise. Everyone was excited to see him again.
