Short Update on the Sweet Tooth Move

Here's an update on our planned move to 36th and Harvard, next to Toni's and Ed Beshara's stores.

We have received all the plans from the various contractors.....plumber, electrician, carpenters, floor folks and painter.  That means we can create a schedule for the various work which needs to be done to bring our new space into FABULOUS.

As you know, we are moving in July...whew!  hope it isn't too hot for the move.

We are also attending the Gift Market in Dallas in June to search for some new and wonderful lines to put in the store.

Never fear!! We are still going to have lots of candy, jewelry, greetings cards, Oklahoma products, purses and totes...all those items which have been the most popular for our Sweet Tooth customers.

Of course a new store requires some new merchandise and that's what we are planning to do.  In one sense, we are re-inventing Sweet Tooth for the 4th time and it is pretty exciting to do that.  September 1 will be our 26th anniversary...can you believe it?

Soon we will be able to reveal what's coming and we will be posting the GRAND OPENING of the new store.  In the meantime, we are having sales in our current space.  After all, it is time to offer our customers an opportunity to get in on the move by purchasing some of your favorite items at discounted prices.  Stop by and help us develop FABULOUS by scooping up some terrific items at the best price ever.

Onward.

Sweet Tooth Is Moving!!!!

The word is out!!!!  Sweet Tooth is making one last move to a new location.  Let me tell you where we are with that.

We have decided to move our store to 36th and Harvard, next door to Toni's Florist and Ed Beshara's Formal Wear.  It is pretty exciting and we want you to come with us when we move.

Our date for opening the new store will be sometime in July.  There will be lots of activities, surprises, special events, drawings, food (of course) and more.

Stay tuned for the exact date.  We will keep you posted. In the meantime, we are still at 38th and Harvard.

There will be a clearance sale at our current location.  We hope you will find some bargains at that sale and you will tell everyone that Sweet Tooth is not closing, we are simply moving.

The first question we got from our staff is how do we move the candy.  We have done this before and timing is everything.  July is a hot month and we don't want our candy to be exposed to the heat as we move up the street,, 2-1/2 blocks.  We will probably scale down a bit prior to the move, just so we have less candy to worry about. 

The second question is what lines are we keeping, in addition to candy.  Well, there is jewelry....that is easy enough to pack up and move.  We want to continue to offer gift items, fun and trendy merchandise which is, frankly, what our customers expect of us.  We will take a trip down to Dallas Gift Market in June to see what new and exciting gift lines are on the scene.  There will be more reporting on this as time allows.

Why are we moving, you might ask.  We have wanted to be next to our friends at 36th and Harvard but the time was never right.  We have sunk a lot of money into lunches at Fellini's and Toni's is our favorite florist.  Ed Beshara is a dream of a landlord and friends at Inviting Place will definitely compliment what we have to offer.  Could there be a better location for Sweet Tooth?  We don't think so.

I will do my best to keep you up to date with all the moving news.  Come and see us at our current location.  We enjoy sharing and talking about what we are doing.  In the meantime, don't get too annoyed by the work at 41st and Harvard.  You can always take a route through the neighborhood behind us or zip across Harvard at 38th Street.  We will draw you a map.  Just think:  new infrastructure (isn't there a lot of talk about THAT these days!!) and no more flooding at the corner of 41st and Harvard.

Yippee!
