Family Day Sale

Family Day sales are a big hit especially at what I would like to consider our “home store”. It is easy for me to consider Mechanicsburg our “home store” because our administrative offices are located in the rear of the thrift store located right here on the “pike”. Whenever Wednesday rolls around, our Family Day sale always produces a highly successful day. I measure our success by three factors. First, the parking lot is always jammed packed. It is like trying to find a parking spot at the mall at Christmastime. (don’t let this dissuade you in away…come join the fun) Being a new transplant to Central Pennsylvania, I am beginning to think that everyone in this community strategically holds out for this sale. I mean 50% off...How can you beat that? Second, the bathroom is as busy as the parking lot. Since our administrative offices share the same space with the thrift store, well, you guessed it. Let’s say there can be some challenges. Lastly, the customers. I enjoy standing still and listening to the “This is nice” or the “Mom, can I get this?” or my favorite “Does this look good on me?” comments.  I find great power in being surrounded with a host of people looking for a great deal and finding it.
