A Letter from the General Manager

Hello Everyone,

With June right around the corner, this will be a great time to have our dads and grads sale. In the last two months we have progressively seen an uptick in business. We have been doing more buys at each store as well as loans. Does this mean that we are starting to see a new normal in business transactions? We certainly hope so! Between April 2021 and May 2021, we purchased 518 more items in May than April. Also, the items that are being brought in are of better grade. This is fantastic! Along with our strong buys, our physical loans will be increasing as well.

The top three salesmen of the month are Javier Becerra who sold $43,022.86, 2nd place was Dominic Tognolini who sold $38,987.71 and third place in sales goes to Mark Xiong who sold $26,151.11 Congratulations guys.

We are in the last month of Q2! The current Dads and Grads sale, buy one get one half off is expected to do well in June. We also anticipate finalizing sales from our layaways. During the last 6 months, our layaway balances have grown well, and we look forward to the redemption of those layaways. The store with the highest balance currently is Broadway with Florin not far behind. Yielding a strong layaway program/balance has helped strengthen our sales month over month. Some locations count on layaway pickups to be 30-40% of their monthly sales.

To conclude, each store has room for more talented team members. We are continuing to work with Dmae in helping find energetic team members who want to make a positive difference in others’ lives. If any of you have a contact, acquaintance or friend who might be looking for an opportunity in a fast paced, rewarding work environment, don’t hesitate to connect them with the store manager to begin our application process.

Sincerely,

Wayne Silliman General Manager
