January 26, 2023 – We are glad to report that almost every big thing in our Bulgarian apartment is spoken for or sold. Lots of little things we are sorting. The inventory for New Start (our BG company) is more than I remember and is identified and slated for shipment or production over the next 6 months. The balance we are working on selling to local folks. We are working to keep things moving along so that we can be wrapped up for the most part when we return stateside in about 10 days.
Speaking of stateside – Here is a photo of the new location being painted (Thanks Mike Ewert), carpets getting cleaned this weekend, and fixtures being moved and installed on Monday (1/30/23). The Marketplace Manna Team stateside is doing a great job helping us get things ready for our Grand Re-Opening sometime in the next few weeks (after we return).
THE STORE IN JACKSON IS STILL OPEN DURING OUR TRANSFORMATION SO STOP BY AND ENJOY OUR KNITWEAR SALE THIS WEEK!
Thanks for your prayers our time in Bulgaria has been amazing. Things are healthy with the churches and work here. We are able to redefine and focus the company to continue to help many in need for a little while longer. We were not sure what to expect but we are very happy will what we found – Keep praying for our time here and for our time when we return to not only continue the expansion but also we will be moving to a new home in Jackson too.
And finally – January is a slow month retail-wise – pray for some good sales to finish the month and to start February.
It seems our theme for January and February is “Moving, both in and out”
