My letter to ACM

[BernardandMissBianca]

After a recent visit to my local ACMoore(New London CT) I just had to write to express my joy over the renovations to your scrapping department. At first when I heard you were revamping this section I was a bit concerned so I waited until the renovations were about 3/4's of the way to completion. I love the way the papers are displayed and the brands of paper you are now carrying, everything looks clean and fresh, the aisles have a nice flow to them and I was able to find everything I needed despite the fact that the store had not finished moving things.
I have always preferred ACM's scrapping dept over some of the other stores but these recent changes solidify my reasoning to continue shopping at your store.
My only request is that you open more stores throughout the US soon. Some of my friends who live in Indiana are not fortunate enough to have an ACMoore near them and would love to become patrons as well.
Thank you,
(Me)

So, what do you think????
I'll let you know if I hear back from them.....

Sounds great. I loved my trip to ACM yesterday. I was driving through Orlando and stopped at the store on my way home. Its not close enough to head to during a trip to Disney but it is a great store. I loved there clearance stuff.

I love your letter! You may have inspired me to write one too! I feel the same way.

I figured they probably only get letters when something is bad, so they should be recognized when they get something right.

I went to mine today for the first time since they finished the revamp...what a huge improvement! Just displaying the paper so you can actually see it made a big difference....and for the first time ever the stack packs weren't a big old mess.

Thanks Buffy! We deprived potential Indiana customers really appreciate you effort!

Is it really that far out of the way? I'm planning on making a stop when we're down there later this month. We're driving, so I'll have a vehicle. Thanks!

It is a good 30 minute drive from the world from what I could tell. I wasn't leaving Disney to head there but I am not sure I could easily find it coming in from I-4. I rode down 50 from Titusville to get there. We usually only go to Disney for a weekend trip and i wouldn't be willing to give up the 2 plus hours it would take to drive and shop there with only 2 days at Disney.

I wish they would open one closer to me. Ours is about 30 minutes away with no traffic but there is always traffic this time of the year. Plus its ALL highway and not my favorite ride.

I havent been in a while because there was never anything new. Did they revamp all of them?

Love it...
Now, I will be writing one to request those Indiana stores.. We have a market for it.. and the next town over is putting in a lot of new shops.. I wonder if they would mind me giving them a few area suggestions and numbers for property lots! LOL
No, seriously.. I'm going to write a letter on Monday...
Great job BAMB!

I think you Midwesterners need to plan a visit to your East Coast friends and we can take you shopping. Then we can visit you and hit Hobby Lobby and Archiver's! Call it a scrapbooking exchange program!

Great letter, Buffy!

yeah, I did a store search using Nancy's zip code. 244 miles to the nearest store, some where in West Virginia I think. That should be an easy drive right???

Ours is 30 minutes via the highway too but then again I live in the sticks so everything is far away. So I hit ACM, Mike's, Border's, Yankee Candle, Target, and lunch at Panera all in the same trip.
I think they are revamping all of them. When I worked at Mike's we got plan-a-grams through corporate and it was usually a company wide change.

Wow I must be a lot more North then Nancy... I plugged in my zip and my closest store at 248 miles is in West Virginia... ouch.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

OOPS it was WV. 244.9 miles. Still that drive is a breeze!!











<------- look at my numbers, look at my numbers!! It says 3999!!!

Me too. Strange huh? Seems like most anywhere in KY would be closer to us than WVA.

I want an ACM! It says mine is only about 50 miles away, but that city is more than an hour away driving.

Okay, I just plotted it out on my map of Orlando. Should be really easy to find. I4N to 50E, once on 50E, look for N Primrose on the left. It's about 30 mins away from Disney. I'll be in Orlando for a week, so I will find the time to get there.

Thanks!

I was wrong, it's West Virginia.

ETA, I edited my previous post.

I want one!!! I am so far away that it doesn't even give me mileage to the nearest store!!
