Dear Friends,

The countdown has started with only 8 days until our Grand Opening at the Manchester, NH store. The store is coming together and after we finish our year-end inventory we will be sending trucks from Waitsfield to Manchester with inventory for the new store so the Manchester team can stock the shelves and get ready to open the doors a week from Saturday. We will have a lot of special promotions and some great deals from our vendor-partners for this newest addition to Small Dog Electronics.

I could not be prouder of the teamwork that has gone into making this store a reality. Every Small Dog employee has had a hand in helping to make the store and many will be on hand for this gala opening next week. We will have all of the latest Apple products including the new iPods, iPads and Mac in stock as well as a complete selection of peripherals and accessories. I’ve just seen pictures of our Help Desk and it looks sharp! I’m heading over to the store on this Saturday to help out and of course, to go to the famous Manchester Chili event.

We are definitely in full peak foliage now here in Vermont. In fact, some of the trees in my neighborhood have already lost most of their leaves. The rain and wind from a couple of storms did their number. The drive to New Hampshire is pretty spectacular this time of the year with the combination of greens, browns, yellows, orange and reds just an amazing quilt of colors as you look at the mountainside.
