Time is slipping away....just a few weeks until we move from 38th and Harvard, to 36th and Harvard.
Those 2 or 3 blocks may not sound like such a big deal. Well, moving is always a big deal. Think back to the last time you moved from one home to another. Didn't you go through a ton of stuff you had been hanging on to just because......
That is just exactly what we have been doing for at least 18 years, if not all 25 years of Sweet Tooth's history. Fortunately for us we have a couple of good things going in our effort to sort out the keepers from the losers.
(1) Our new space will be smaller than the one we are in now.
(2) Lisa, one of our staff, is simply great at getting rid of things we don't actually need any longer. And I am her cohort in that project. We quickly pass our ideas past Jeff and when he isn't looking, out the back door go all those old displayers, packages, boxes of stuff we haven't used in a very long time, etc. Today I actually put papers from 2003 in the recycling box...but I did save the binder in which they have been sitting for 14 years. No use wasting the re-useable items.
Our last day at 38th will be Saturday, July 8. The very next day we will begin to pack up items, jewelry, candy, etc. which we are keeping. And on Tuesday Michael our neighbor and our mover will begin to take all sorts of cases, shelving, etc. over to 36th Street.
With the expertise and curiosity of our staff, we will spend that week re-establishing all the inventory we are keeping. And by Monday, July 17, if all goes well, we will open the doors at 3541 South Harvard.
Pardon us if we have a few weeks of forgetting where things are. Tweeking the details will be a critical task for all of us.
In August, THE GRAND OPENING. Won't you be there to participate in the celebration?? Watch our email newsletter, our Facebook and Instagram sites for details, times, etc.
36th will be our last reinvention of OUR HAPPY PLACE and we want you to be there with us. Onward.
