This fall The
Christmas Factory will close our doors.
Ariel Preferred
Outlets (this shopping center owner) has helped us arrive at this
decision.
- The manager
here has admitted to stealing our "going out of business" signs
....her trial is in a couple of weeks
STUPID IS AS
STUPID DOES
- Upon learning
that we were contemplating leaving the center the leasing manger did
not say: "Gee, we hate to see you go. Is there anything we can do to
make you change your mind?" He did, however, write us a certified
letter outlining how they would respond if we defaulted on our lease
"We'll sue you...."
IGNORANCE AS A
VIRTUE
- The leasing
agent lied about the location of a billboard which was to be a part of
our last renewal.
'ET UP WITH THE
DUMB ASS
- There is no
one at Ariel that seems to have the vaguest idea as to what a customer
is or how they should be treated. Since owning this shopping center
Ariel has lost (is loosing) 9 tenants. The sum total of tenants gained
= 0.
ARCADIAN
UNDERACHIEVERS
- Other tenants
here have received similar threatening letters.
IF THEY ARE
PAYING ANY OF THESE FOLKS MORE THAN $20K THEY'RE BEING OVERPAID.
- The center
manager's (or her assistant's) car had a a bumper sticker: "Join our
intercourse club. You don't have to go to meetings just cum"
VERY CLASSY FOLKS
- The mildly
indifferent attitude Ariel displays to tenants in good standing morphs
into openly hostile and combative toward tenants that have decided to
close.
If you're a
prospective tenant you might want to beware of these guys.
After 12 years... (10 excellent 2 so-so)
we're looking forward to doing something different for a while.
About The Christmas Factory
Winding out of the Georgia Piedmont is Interstate 75. It bores
relentlessly Southward. Everyday 45,000 sons and daughters of the proud
American soil pass by our door. Many stop. Many are on their way to that
$750 million juke box in the honkey tonk of life. That greatest
commercial concession ever articulated in the entrepreneurial visioning
of human kind,* Disney World. Whether a part of that man swarm
gaggle or local folks (who may not necessarily be seeking to reaffirm
their frontier heritage according to the doctrine of Donald Duck,) The
Christmas Factory has been a welcome respite from the routine, an oasis
from the mundane.
If you can't stop
(Interstate 75 at exit 5) then a visit to this web site is the next best
thing.
Now, the conventional wisdom is that all the things we sell should be
on the web. But since we routinely stock about a skillion items we must
limit the items on our site to these several categories.
