It looks like the official website for the store has changed this afternoon as they have replaced the generic logo with this picture of the building in it's latter stages of construction. Coming from experience this usually means they are getting ready to announce what the actual schedule of events will be on February 18th. Note: the store's phone number has been released!
Rumors have been spreading along several blogs & forums concerning what events, prizes and specials will be made available for the IKEA Charlotte Grand Opening.
Frankly, I could care less if all they were having was a couple of balloons and they were giving away bags of dog poop - I'm gonna be there with bells on!
Anything else is just a bonus to me and I will take anything I get with sincere gratitude (sans actual dog poop - I have enough of that already).
As far as what they give away, if anything, I will make the absolute most of it. Don't get me wrong, a new couch (like they gave away at Red Hook) would be sweet, but the economy is a different beast than it was a mere 7 months ago.
Not to be mean . . . but I think I'd actually like to see them not give away too much. The values there cannot be beat, even by the local furniture wholesale stores. The "Wal-Mart crowd" will be shocked as to how much better priced the goods are in The Marketplace.
Given the state of things I suspect a lot of people will show up only for the lure of free items. Let them come, let them be converted! Just leave some stuff for ME!
LOL!
But here's to the madness that is an IKEA Grand Opening, it will be my 1st & hopefully not my last. . . that's a hint Joe . . .
Yes, Joseph Roth, I'm talking directly to you . . . MYRTLE BEACH . . . MYRTLE BEACH . . . MYRTLE BEACH!
