We’re thankful for a lot of things today, but just wanted to quickly say that we are very thankful for all of you who have supported us over the years (almost 3 at this point! hard to believe). We’re also thankful to be part of the amazing community that is Somerville.
Hope you all have a very happy and delicious-food-filled Thanksgiving!
On Plaid Friday (November 26) we’re going to have a B-I-G sale on everything at Grand. It’s as simple as that. How much, you ask? 20% off everything from kitchen wares, plates, clothing, baby gifts, jewelry, bags, and anything else in the store.
Oh and around 11AM Mayor Joe of Somerville will swing by with some press. So if you want to meet him and (maybe) be on TV be sure to be here then!
What’s Plaid Friday? Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses. Plaid Friday is the fun and less stressful alternative to the big box store “Black Friday,” and is designed promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays. And don’t forget: every time you shop locally an angel gets their wings.
And let us just say we’ve spent the last few weeks curating the perfect gifts for you and yours this holiday season so if you haven’t been to Grand in a while, Friday is the day! Doors open at 11AM so after you freak out at the mall, come by our store to shop. That’s this Friday, 11AM-7PM.
* You can read more about Plaid Friday in an opinion piece in the Boston Globe here.
Grand will be closed this Wednesday (11/17) through Friday (11/19) to attend Build Boston 2010. We apologize for any incovenience! We’ll reopen on Saturday (11/20) full of a bunch of awesome brand new stuff for you and yours this holiday season.
We’re super excited that Grand is nominated for Best Place to Shop in the Gifts category for the Weekly Dig Dig This Awards. Please vote for us here!
This is gonna be awesome.
We love greyhounds. Love love love em. That’s why we’re so excited to have the amazing folks from Greyhound Friends into Grand and Poor Little Rich Girl.
Greyhound Friends will set up in our store on Saturday, October 23rd, from 12:00-3:00. For reals! Learn about greyhounds in general, greyhound adoption, and Greyhound Friends! And we’re not taking responsibility if their cuteness makes you want to adopt a greyhound. So c’mon down and hang out with some super cute greyhounds and do some shopping at Grand and get ready for the fall and Halloween @ Poor Little Rich Girl. See more info here.
And that’s not all that’s happening this weekend! We’re excited to be a part of Somerstreets this Sunday, October 24th from 12:00-4:00. Somerville Ave is going to be closed from Bow St to Beacon St and lined with pumpkins for a costume parade and all kinds of awesome Halloween activities. We’ll be handing out candy so bring yourself, your kids, or your dog, and stop in for a treat!
And if that’s not enough excitement, we’re also participating in Fall Boutique Week! Which means that from October 24-31, you can get 25% OFF your purchase by mentioning the Boutique Week promo code, BW1009. (Just be sure to mention the code when checking out to make sure you get the discount.) Could there be a better reason to get an early start on your holiday shopping? We didn’t think so.
Hope to see you soon!
