December 1, 2022 – Inflation is real and is having an impact on what we do. This fall store sales have been 40%-50% less than last year.
We understand – people who used to have funds to spend on things like what we sell now have to put it in the tank or on the table but the folks we serve and who depend on us selling a certain level will be impacted as we are not purchasing as much for the stores.
Additionally, our overall expenses for labor, insurance, rent, and utilities have not decreased. That means we have to become even more creative in how and what we do.
People that enter the stores love the story and mission of helping the poor but are purchasing less than before.
Again, we understand that people just don’t have as much surplus money to spend.
This week I am asking our partners to pray for the right folks to come into the store and for our sales to increase. (God says to pray about everything) If you are near one of our stores please come by and see if we might have something for the special someone on your Christmas list.
And for those who can’t come into the store, you can order online at marketplacemannna.com if you order more than $100 and use the code “xmas22“ we will ship it for free until December 17, 2022. That should get it to you before Christmas.
