Can Art save a Mall

Connie, thank you so much for your comments about the Village Fine Art Gallery, Rochester Hills, MI.The shopping center contacted me October 14 and asked me to open a gallery in an empty store. November 16, I opened and started selling November 14.The first customer who purchased before the gallery opened, was so happy to see the gallery, that she brought me homemade cookies. She has been in 2 more times since then.Yesterday, I was there alone. I thought no one would be shopping at the gallery, as they would all be in the grocery store or home cooking. Not so. I was unbelievably busy. I had a line up, to purchase, at one point.Debbie LaPratt's store at Laurel Place Mall, should be an inspiration to us all. She has had a temporary store for over 4 years. Last December Debbie's store topped all other stores in the mall, for total sales volume. Way to go Debbie. I wish you repeated good luck this year.I will send photos later. Have to run and cook. After all it is Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for.Happy Thanksgiving to all.

  • Great news, Donna. I know you are doing a great job. That is wonderful about the sales. I look forward to a wrap up when you close, and in the meantime also, if you have the time!
