They Made Our Stay Carefree

We visited New York at the end of March during spring break and had the pleasure of staying at an outstanding hotel, DoubleTree, in times square south with the kindest and most accommodating staff we have encountered in quite some time. Great commitment to service quality!

Where can I find this?

IKEA makes it about as easy as it can get for information on the product as well as where you need to go in the "warehouse" to find it. They also really know how to use standardized services through signage and information displays. 

Up, Down, & Around at IKEA

We have pretty much lived at IKEA this last couple weekends, and I must say that their store layout is quite efficient. Their layout is a great example of a grid, zig-zag layout. Keep the traffic flowing IKEA!

From Training to Trainer

Target is always on point with having enough staff in the store. And I come across quite often an employee going through on-the-job training with another employee. I think it's one of the best ways to learn. 

Everyday Low Prices

There's a reason Walmart is one of the largest retailers in the World, its everyday low prices has customers keep coming back for savings and value. Walmart uses the everyday low pricing strategy for their items and they aren't shy about their customers know that. 

Can You Follow in these Footsteps?

The only thing I love more than a good shoe store is a shoe store that gives me assortment, always has a good inventory, and has the latest trends with good prices. DSW is leader in that with their merchandise planning process.

Game Got You Hungry?

Every Volleyball game I go to for my little sister, there is always players working the food stand to raise money. Did you know that is a gray market? Purchasing the food from a wholesaler such as Sam's club, then reselling it at a game for a higher price to  make a profit. . . Some food for thought. :)
