If I feel intimidated by the people who work in a store I will not likely shop there, or at least not as often as I would with friendly employees. It is too bad that your local signature store doesn't realize this!

A signature store that has been around for a very long time, and a corporate store that has been open for about 2 years. Honestly, I never liked going to the privately owned sign. store, since the owner/ employees have always been very snooty/ uppity to whomever walks into this store. Plus they would follow you around like their customers were criminals.. I really did not go there that often, since I loathe people like that. I think it extremely rude, and just b/c I am younger than the average person living in this town, doesn't mean I don't have money to spare;-) Needless to say, they did not get a lot of my business..I was thrilled when the corp. store opened, and the girls there are some of the nicest out there. They make you feel welcome and always go the extra mile. To me, as much as like to support local businesses, it boils down to service, which Lilly corporate is just awesome at. At least where I live...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752926973544777328.post-26690567555143547102009-04-29T14:24:00.000-04:002009-04-29T14:24:00.000-04:00I nearly went into a Lilly store here at the mall ...I nearly went into a Lilly store here at the mall because I saw it and thought of you.

We are the largest store in the country so we have the advantage that the corporate stores have in that we can offer a lot of merchandise. But since we are individually owned we still have those great sales! I think the thing that will end up hurting the little guys the most is that you can now shop on Lilly's website- a year ago you couldn't!

That's too bad about Lilly P. going corporate. I remember my sister and I use to love the GAP before they got big. We use to buy all our school clothes at the first GAP in San Francisco (before they went outlet on us). We loved the warehouse district b/c we would find the funky shops filled with cool unique things. I hope Lilly P. doesn't lose its personality but I'll do my best by giving my business to the little guy. Thanks for the heads up.midnight macaroonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881376824966373767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752926973544777328.post-46081202763174043782009-04-25T13:23:00.000-04:002009-04-25T13:23:00.000-04:00Lil P is so cute!!!
