Real Life Sactionals in Real Homes

Recently, TWO of our most important Sac'rs became something much more important than employees....they became customers.  

[BEFORE - LEFT]Jeremy Corash runs our top store in the company.  He was recently married and bought a bunch of Sactionals to add on to his rare two-tone set up (more people should try this).  I couldn't just allow his celebratory furniture to show up FedEx so I made a personal visit to their home in Columbia, Maryland, to unpack it and set it up for him.  Just watch it come together...  [AFTER - RIGHT]

Most of the time our furniture gets used for TV rooms.  I have to say, it is nice to see it applied to something new.  Nancy's home office turned out awesome.  So clean, so simple.  The Taupe and Seawater Rhinoplush covers both tied in perfectly with her existing rug.  I love that the U-drinks and U-tables (shown in photo left) that were designed for home theater use, come in so handy even in the home office situation.

After getting it all set up, it turns out that Nancy has decided that she wants an arm on the right end of her sectional, instead of the chaise, as it sits now.  So, as any Sactionals customer can do, she just needs to order up 2 more Sides and turn that chaised-out Base the other direction, placing one of the extra Sactionals Sides behind it as the "back" and the other to the right of it on the end, as the "arm," and Nancy will have a closed of sectional instead of a left chaise sectional.  

THAT'S the power of Sactionals....real furniture for real life.

 Number 29.  That's right, the Sac continues to spread across North America with this, our most recent store opening in the Santa Clara, California.  Our first modern LoveSac store in the Bay area, Valley Fair Mall is actually one of the best malls in the United States.    It was a bit of a bummer that we did not have our permanent sign for installation on opening day, but somehow, what began as a very rough store opening, ended like it should....on time and under budget.

Its always a good time getting these stores open with the LoveSac retail crew.    Alex, Brian, Charlie, Torin--all good men--all talented Sac'rs.  James and Nate will be runnin' the show, both transplants from the ancient Salt Lake City market.   

As always, some hardcore Sac fans showed up for the opening to take advantage of our legendary "count down" promotion....some waiting in line for hours.  I'm always flattered.  

Back in the old day's we did this crazy countdown beginning at 99% off for the first person in line, and counting down.  We had lines wrapping through the mall.  We've curtailed it a bit in our old age, but its still a pretty killer promo.  The first item sold is 75% off and counting down.  If you've ever wanted a Sac OR Sactionals at a good deal, just SHOW UP TO A STORE OPENING early and save big!!!  Keep an eye on our site lovesac.com.  We have a new store opening nearly every month in 2010.  Our next one will be at the Scottsdale Fashion Square in Phoenix, Arizona on or around May 15th.  Come out and say HI!  I'll be there myself.  

For many customers this was their first ever exposure to the Sac.  Clearly, they had never seen anything like it.  While I am glad that I finally have people trained up to hang all of the artwork on the wall and do most of the heavy lifting at these store openings, I have a hard time imagining a day when I won't go myself.  Opening new stores is one of my favorite things about this job.  What's also difficult is keeping my hands clean.  Somehow I always end up on the ladder "handling" things myself.  Its just how I'm wired I guess. Gotta let go.

 Thanks to all of the awesome people in the Bay area who continue to support the Sac.  Thanks to our new crew in Valley Fair.  They all had to put up with me and my endless, mindless LoveSac "Front Line" training course which invariably goes past midnight each time.  They're seemingly all rock stars...but we'll see who can hang soon enough.

Every single time I am in a store for any reason I seem to meet long time loyal Sac fans who teach ME something new about our product.  Sacs (and Sactionals) definately have more that 1001 uses.  Here is a video of yet another.

Never stop rockin' the Sac!  Come see me at our next store opening.
