Sears Appliance And Hardware Store

It's been a journey since then. Very rewarding. I was born in my previous job. I was an almost-drowned. I got hired to be a parent of a musical wall. So I decided to go back into retail and love it. I'm Sandra, and I'm the district manager for Sears hometown outlet center in southern Ohio, Indianapolis, and Michigan. And I've known Mark for a while because he owns now four of my stores. Plus he owns a fifth store, which is an appliance showroom in another district, in Westchester. This is exciting because Mark is an absolutely phenomenal leader and businessman, and he's brought this to your local community. So we'really, really excited about it. We're a little bit different than the mall. That's why we're called hometown. So we can relate with the community. Being locally owned and operated, bringing money into the community instead of up on a big corporate level. And basically I'm his partner, whatever he needs. I get it for him, and we hope to be a big success here. But so far, the welcome that he's received in Fairfield has been awesome. It's been just awesome. So we appreciate that. You're pulling tight. I'm sorry, I'm taller. The owner's doing the time. I'm used to being in the front. I'm not very good at it. I'm so up. You're trying to fight your hero. First, before we get into the ribbon cutting, we want to get some comments, first of all, from Maristine. We'd We're very impressive. We're big fans of the Bible. And I hope this works out well for you. I think it was planned on being here. So again, thank you for being in that case with Fairfield. Debbie, you have a few words? I was a customer on a regular basis. They all know me well here. So we're just, we're glad to be here. Thank you. Thank you. I'm in here, right? I was coming back to Thanksgiving. It's powerful. I'm glad you could lose. I'm glad you could all eat in the front. We appreciate you being here. Well, to everyone, thank you for remembering that. Because I keep my soul to this day.

Break through. This is Kibla Mattes, and we're all over the place. We'really going to pass this on to the ladies. Anyone else? Cheers, great. That's a great answer. The Fairfield community has responded. More than, I mean, I can understand how this is Mark's favorite story. We don't let them do that. But, I mean, as far as I understand, they're the most engaged. The community has just responded immediately, even before the whole Grand Reopening, where everybody knew about the local area. And it's working out so quickly. We've responded so well. I've been really impressed. Great. You want to step in here, because we want you to be part of this. Do you have a few words to say? I'm sure you have a few. I just appreciate this kind of response.
