EDGEWOOD GRAND OPENING RECAP

The Edgewood Grand Opening was a big hit in the eastern Pittsburgh area. We decided to celebrate the new store opening with a Steelers tailgate party. It turned out to be the perfect way to kick off Super Bowl weekend since the Steelers were playing in it the next day. We had a great crowd, and the people definitely were out in full force representing their team. We met with local community members, gave away Timberlands, $50 gift cards, and of course the Steelers tailgate party. More than 150 people stood in line on Saturday morning for the gift card giveaway. Thanks to the Edgewood team for hosting a great show, and the rest of the team that was there.

Villa’s Atlantic City Grand Opening was an event not to miss. Both days were filled with giveaways and a special guest appearance. Friday was the first day of the huge buy 1 get 1 for $1 sale. Also, Villa raffled off a free pair of Timberland “Butters” Boots and there was an in-store and autograph session with rapper T.I. Saturday was the second day of the buy 1 get 1 for $1 sale. Also, there were $25 gift cards given away to the first 100 customers in line. Daddy-O the Clown was on-site doing free face painting and baloon sculpting and there were free hot dogs and beverages for everyone. Overall, the event was a huge success and perfect for the whole family to attend.

WHITMAN’S GRAND OPENING

This event was incredible! The Villa’s newest store: located in Whitman Plaza , which is located in South Philadelphia , was one to remember. Not only did we give out free sneakers and a $250 dollar shopping spree, but we also gave out free food and beverages. There was an in-store appearance and autograph signing by the co-host of BET’s 106 & Park, Rocsi and the Youngest in Charge dance group put a show on for the crowd. Overall, it was a family affair at the Villa’s Grand Opening. If you were not there, you missed it. Keep checking our website to hear about the next Villa store opening.
