The basement. Did you know our MoonPie General Store has a basement? Go to the back of the store and down the stairs. We call it our “GREAT BUY” Basement. So what’s down there? Well, our buyer is making some purchases, books and gifts, specifically for the basement. And some merchandise started upstairs, but later was marked down and sent to the basement. There are boxed greeting cards, southern gospel CD’s, Webkinz, and books and gifts of all sorts. We had a recent buy of Guideposts inspirational fiction books, nice hardcovers, and found in the basement at $3.99 each. We have four new devotional journals that are very nice, hardcover, regular $16.99, but sale priced in the basement at $4.99 each.
What else is in the basement? Well we have a children’s table and chairs on a carpet at the front, and are working to put more and more kids books in the basement. We have just pulled a bunch and marked them half off, and are putting them in the basement now. And in the back third of the basement, we have created a books section signed “$3 OR LESS”, with older marked down books. Hardcovers selling at $3, Paperbacks selling at $2, and find three books you like here, and we’ll give you the 4th book FREE. Who doesn’t like FREE?
The basement continues to be a work in progress, but if you visit often enough we think you’ll see that we are working, working, and working some more down there to bring you GREAT BUY product at GREAT prices, and also trying to make our basement more attractive and organized.
Seems like we’re almost through January already. Whew! We hope you are enjoying this start to 2018. Be good to the people in your life, and come visit our store when you are in town. And we say “thank you!”
