Orders, orders, and more orders

There is not alot going on yet as far as the looks of the store, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Erick has been working with about 4 different toy reps (each rep represents 20-30 different toy companies) to place orders. This is probably the hardest part of the whole process. We met with one of the reps last week and I knew we were in trouble when after an hour we had only gone through one catalog. There are upwards of 200 catalogs that we have to look through and try to decide what to put into the store. It is a very time consuming process. Once we get the store filled it shouldn't be as hard to maintain, but initially... WOW. Susan is the person that we bought all of the shelving from. She has been a huge help to us in this whole process and has been working with Erick in writing up the orders. She has over 20 years of experience in the toy industry and really knows what she is doing. It has been a huge blessing to have her and her husband in our lives. I will have more pictures soon as we start getting our orders in. We are hoping to be open in a couple of weeks.
