Tall Mouse Store Closing

As many of you by now may have heard; the Tall Mouse Store in Cerritos will be closing. We are so sad to hear this news for Ricki & Jim but heartened to know they will keep their Yorba Linda & Laguna Niguel Stores.

*******************************

Dear Friends,

We appreciate that you have been pulling for us, and a multitude of other small businesses, who are struggling to maintain inventory for customers and jobs for loyal and dedicated employees. We have all been fighting the economy, and it has put a very deep wound in the Tall Mouse. After exhausting all possible solutions, we regret that we must liquidate all inventory at our Cerritos location. The store will be closed to the public on Sunday, March 28th through Tuesday, March 30th to prepare for the sale. Beginning on Wednesday, March 31st, all merchandise and fixtures will be sold at huge savings. We hope to raise enough cash to protect this family business of nearly 44 years.

Liquidation hours are March 31st, April 1st and 2nd (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) 9 am to 8 pm;
Saturday, April 3rd--9 am to 6 pm; and Sunday, April 4th—11am to 6 pm. From April 5th forward—10 am to 7 pm. Come early for best selection. Note the Yorba Linda and Laguna Niguel stores are not a part of this liquidation sale and will continue to operate on their regular hours.

Please share this information with your friends and neighbors and encourage them to benefit from the huge savings of this liquidation sale.

Thank you for your continued positive thoughts for us,

Ricki and Jim Bremer

Calling All Members!

If you have a quilt shop you frequent; bring the name to our next meeting March 13th, 2010. We will have the Long Beach Sponsorship committee send them information on how they can co-sponsor our exhibit and get their name in lights! Ok; not 'lights' exactly, but they can be on our spiffy marketing materials. Every little bit helps!

See you at the meeting!

Don't forget it's hosted at the Tall Mouse in Cerritos again.
