Tent Sale Set-up Sneak Peek

Even though the store is closed today, this is one of the busiest and exciting days of the year for the staff at Mary’s: our huge Tent Sale is this weekend and today is set-up day!

It takes close to 60 people to completely remerchandise the entire store to prepare for all the excitement of this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

tent sale, equestrian, horses, discountsJust think about it- in addition to our entire store, this 100 foot tent half stocked with all kinds of great sale goodies, and half set up with 14 cashiers!  And this year, keep your eyes peeled for entries in our cutest horse contest while you wait in line, which hopefully won’t be for long with our fast and efficient cashier staff.

Inside, the store is completely transformed as pallets of merchandise are unwrapped, stocked, tagged and hung up for your shopping enjoyment. The amount of preparation really is incredible – from our IT guys hooking up all the computers and PA system, to our buyers and sales people getting all the merchandise set out for our customers.

This is just a quick post as I want to get back helping the rest of the crew, but I wanted to share some of the excitement with you in advance!

Hope to see you this weekend -

PS – remember our sale hours! Friday and Saturday 9-5, Sunday 9-4.

Mary’s Tent Sale 2012!

The excitement is building…

It’s that time of year again, and we’re all getting excited- Mary’s 25th Annual Tent Sale is coming up February 17th, 18th and 19th!

“Hectic, frantic, and a heck of a lot of fun,” is the way one of our veteran temporary workers (we call them Temparoonis) described her time of helping at each year’s sale, and we had to agree.  In fact, we go from a regular staff of about 40 employees to a smiling crew of over 70 people working the sale!  It really has become quite the tradition, with some of our local customers working alongside us for all 3 days, year after year.

If you’ve never been to one of our Tent Sales, you might be wondering what the big deal is.  Well, in addition to our entire store, we fill an enormous 100 foot tent with TONS of incredible merchandise and amazing specials.  The deals are so good this year that we’re going from our normal 4 to 14 cashiers (the most we’ve ever had!).

Mary's Tack and Feed Tent Sale 2012

Even our GM gets into the act, with auctions, contests (insider tip: make sure you know who won last year’s Kentucky Derby), and countless chances for you to win a Mary’s gift card.  The atmosphere overall is electric, complete with delicious food for our customers and employees, and best of all, the chance for all of us to spend the weekend with all of you!

And to top it all off, because the Mary’s Sale is so very special, we’ve had many of our fantastic vendors participate over the years, ready to answer your questions and share their incredible product knowledge with you.

So mark your calendars – we can’t wait to see you there!
