Dear Friends,
Grace and I have spent the last couple days in Gaspe up here in the Maritimes, riding our motorcycles. We had a pretty rainy day on Wednesday, but we had the right gear and our Victory Visions seem to shed water really well. The weather improved today so we meandered around New Brunswick, driving out Route 113 to Miiscou and finally ending up on Moncton where we are holed up for the night.
I really am on vacation this week, but I have some very exciting news to share with you, so I am breaking my own rules and working a little. On Tuesday, we signed the paperwork to acquire our newest store in Key West, Florida! Small Dog Electronics now has the southernmost Apple Specialist store, and we are thrilled to bring our brand of fun to the fun city of Key West.
While we are excited about opportunities this gives the company in a new location, it is also a great way to “punish” some of my extraordinary employees by sentencing them to hard labor — say in February — in Key West. Seriously though, with this newest store, we now have five retail stores and have our work cut out for us at this new location. Cindy Caminite is our store manager in Key West, and after spending a month at our headquarters and other stores, she is ready to lead Small Dog Key West.
