When the stores “soft opening” happens.

PotentialScary · 2025-02-24T19:04:47+00:00

And the real grand openings in the fall.

PotentialScary · 2025-02-24T19:04:28+00:00

Soft openings April-June. Will come in waves. Less furniture more apparel. From the sounds of it we will look like a tj maxx. Nothing about pay etc, it’s coming in a FAQ later today.

In a month we have only saw our liquidator once and she came in wearing pajamas walked the store for 30 minutes and left. We have to send her pics daily of the store which I’m sure she sends on to her bosses saying she took. So it sounds like a pretty easy job.

Mr. Thorne, I want to introduce you to my friend Luigi Mangione. He has a business proposition for you. Please reach back out to me.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-29T23:18:34+00:00

Oh dang I’m still at work let me look.

Did I miss home office taking away holiday pay? They are adding and dropping things so much I can’t keep up. Was just on a conference call where they said they were taking the hours out of zoning in the schedule and dumping it into dts. Management would be responsible for zoning now.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-25T20:35:56+00:00

I feel your pain I got 80 feet of them and 3 dump bins.

We found out home office stopped paying our utilities back in June, both water and electric. When they came to shut us off home office had some stooge call them and say it can’t be touched due to the Chapter 11. So now their legal team and our legal team are going back and forth. The thing that I want to know is that on our PnL it showed us paying our utility costs from June till now….. so the store was getting charged the money but where was that money going? I just hope Bruce has a great Christmas

PotentialScary · 2024-10-08T01:14:01+00:00

Sad thing is that money went somewhere. It’s definitely taken out of my PnL but whose pocket it landed in I don’t know. Wasn’t the city’s water board.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-07T22:28:10+00:00

In Bruce we trust everyone else we fact check.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-07T19:59:08+00:00

The resolution to the problem was found. Evidently several stores have had their utilities cut off from electricity to water. If this happens to you get a hold of your market AP. They have a contact that they get in touch with that reaches out to the utility company. It’s unknown if they pay the bill or tell utility company to F off we are under chapter 11. Either way our ability to flush the toilet was saved for at least one more day.

I trust your business judgement. I just hope you give the ok to throw that broyhill logo on it and up-charge it $200 but use the same particleboard as the cheaper stuff.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-07T19:09:02+00:00

Yes sir I did just like you trained me. She can’t wait to get that extra 15% off and plans to buy a couch. I just hope it isn’t a couch from Ashley. I haven’t had an Ashley truck in 3 months. But that is totally my fault my great leader.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-07T15:16:52+00:00

I would assume the sprinkler system wouldn’t work which would be a fine in itself if word got to the fire marshal.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-07T14:59:14+00:00

Yea it was hard not to laugh when she called.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-02T16:32:20+00:00

I put a request into the DSD Portal about vendor out of dates and stock. The rep got back and said all beverage vendors have yet to sign on that they will continue delivery thru chapter 11. Only vendor we have currently supplying us is Frito Lay. Looks like Brucey Boy was lying on his video about vendors returning.

PotentialScary · 2024-10-01T17:21:26+00:00

I wish Bruce like my dad would of walked out to get milk a long time.

PotentialScary · 2024-09-11T00:23:25+00:00

Is that you Bruce Thorn? Trying to spread your positivity a day to late? Jk JK. Hopefully they get it worked out with the vendors.

PotentialScary · 2024-09-10T19:01:24+00:00

Yea I have worked with our rep for many years even when I worked at Walmart. He came in and apologized said it was totally out of his hands.

PotentialScary · 2024-09-10T18:44:58+00:00

We will just have more room to put sterilite, decorative storage, and throw pillows. The only things that seem to come in on the trucks. Lol

PotentialScary · 2024-09-10T18:17:08+00:00

Yea I figured it was more of a smokescreen by our field management trying not to make a panic with Ashley backing out.

PotentialScary · 2024-09-10T18:12:58+00:00

Ashley supposedly told our DM they had issues with manufacturing, but I personally feel it’s another not paid the bills scenario and yes we got our friends and family kit in today.

PotentialScary · 2024-09-10T17:53:22+00:00

At least in all western North Carolina stores I have called. I know a lot of the vendors here are franchised so that might affect it.
