Flagship store opens in Mount Vernon!
Wow! This is crazy! I am so thankful and excited to personally meet all of our tulees customers as they walk through our doors just off First Street in downtown Mount Vernon. Literally in my backyard, and in the town I where I was raised! My family, friends, and community drove the icey, dicey roads of post-snow-storm Puget Sound for the Grand Opening event yesterday! I must say, I typically don't do crowds (just ask tulees marketing maven who can work a room like no one's fashion business). But last night was way fun! The sixteen days of all-out-massive-action to get the store ribbon-cutting-ready was all worth it!
Thank you, thank you and thank you again to my family, friends, and tulees construction team for painting, installing, and "repurposing" the former Kirby Vacuums space into a new home for the first ever tulees store! There are finishing touches yet to be done (that will be a ongoing process), but I'm so grateful, honored and humbled by all the hardwork and dedication from everyone. You all know who you are! You rock!
