Many of you ask us what Market is like. So, I thought I would give you a very brief pictoral overview.
“Market” is somewhat like a very large mall. There are 16+ floors of vendors displaying their goods to us. Each of them hoping that they will have the merchandise that will be perfect for our store.
In January, just when you have put away all your Christmas decor, Market is filled with new and exciting decorations for the following holiday season (Christmas 2012). So, we try to stay in that holiday mindset for just a little longer.
Just to make sure we stay in the Christmas mode, Santa makes a post-holiday appearance. (Or would it be a pre-holiday appearance?)
There are so many neat things about Market that I could share with you, but I told you I would be brief. Please be assured, though, that we work tirelessly to find the best merchandise for the best customers in the world–You!   We only wish that our feet worked as tirelessly as we do. (Many shoe changes are necessary for a successful trip to market.)
