We sure do!!!!
One Sunday morning in September last year I opened the store to what I thought was a bad joke (someone flooding the ‘rain wear store’) but it actually turned out to be the building’s hot water system and pipes, flushing its contents through the ceiling, down the walls and pipes and onto our beautiful turquoise hardwood floors! To my surprise all our inventory was unscathed by the whole incident!!!! Needless to say I was thinking of replacing the buckets to catch the water with a few pairs of Gumboots.
From This.....
....to This!!!!
It has now been 10 months, the insurance red tape has been sorted, and now it’s time to repair the damage. We will be closing our doors Sunday July 26th, 2009 and re-opening sometime mid-August (we can’t set a concrete date as we are at the mercy of the contractors…and we all
know the story there) So, as soon as we know a re-opening date….we will let you know. Until then enjoy the rest of your Summer….and we’ll see you for all your back to school needs.
If you need a GumDrops fix in the meantime please visit our website at: www.gumdropsonline.com and all lower mainland customers who order online and use coupon code localfreeship will get local free shipping. So if you know of anyone who can’t or doesn’t get to Kitsilano often please let them know FREE SHIPPING is available until we re-open.
We will be blogging, tweeting, and yes face booking the fun and frustrating adventure of repairs, renovations and contractors……stay tuned……
