The 2nd half of my annual FrontLine LoveSac store tour began in the big O. While you won’t find a LoveSac store in Chicago or Miami or San Francisco, LoveSac has been in Omaha for many, many years now. I like Omaha. It kind of reminds me of my hometown, Salt Lake City for some reason. The staff is stronger than it has ever been and after climbing around on a ladder for two days changing out lighting and just doing what needs to be done, that store looks better than it ever has, I do believe. Just wait until you see what they did for their store video this year. Good stuff. (You’ll see a clip from every store in the country on the videos that play in our stores, once compiled, later this year).
Dallas is, and has always been, a stronghold for LoveSac. This is mostly due to the truly loyal, capable, and intelligent staff down there. Many Sac’rs on this crew have been here for years….like 5 years & counting. They have the huge responsibility of managing our current Sactionals sales test in Best Buy stores there (more on that later), as well as just dealing with things like the gigantic doors that fell of the track one night, hence this (above).
Operation FrontLine is one of my favorite times of year. It sucks to be on the road away from Tiffany and Lucky so much but it is awesome to get out and just work in every LoveSac store, meet the customers, personally train the staff, and feel the energy from the front lines of LoveSac – where it actually happens. The two things I love the most are our own amazing people at LoveSac as well as our amazing customers….some of whom really seem to like what we’re doing. I’m always flattered to meet them and amazed at how much they know.
I made a quick stop in SLC for Thanksgiving, and squeezed in a FrontLine training at Fashion Place Mall. It ended in a TubeSac/Ball baseball game in the middle of the mall. Trouble. Yes – Nate really can just do the splits on command.
On to Los Angeles where LoveSac is still going strong in Northride and Tyler (Riverside). Better crews than ever before, and once again, after a little unlicensed electrical work, the stores look better than ever. The crews in Cali are now stronger than ever, and with the recent advent of the Glendale Galleria, we’re selling to the celebs in Hollywood once again. Just 2 days ago I was giving a Sactionals demo to Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. Thanks to Nahom, he is now rockin 3 SuperSacs in his Home Theater and about to toss out his lame reclining/cup-holder theater chairs and replace them all with Sactionals Movie Loungers….furniture for REAL LIFE. I suspect many more celebrities will be trading in their lame theater chairs for Sactionals soon. Its weird to sit separately in your own home, like Captain Kirk on the enterprise, reclined, all facing one way. Those theater chairs suck…Sactionals are much better seating for Home Theaters, hanging out, cuddling, eating, drinking…real life.
Arizona Mills LoveSac last night with the always rock solid Andy, Sam & the AZ crew. There are really no words for how far that store has come.
LoveSac Las Vegas was today (which I can never complain about). Most of the Vegas crew has been here for 3 & 5 & 6 years!! They began in high school and now they’re stone cold killers….runnin’ a good business in sin city. (Don’t ask about this pic – just wait for the in-store video). Just hit up Layton, Utah tonight. (RIGHT) Now its on to SLC and Atlanta for double store visits. Front Line never stops.
