The pictures just don't do the place justice. It is near impossible to get the whole store in one picture. Here you can see about 90% of the shopping space. Also, you don't see in these pictures the lobby, the huge classroom, and our office area. Some of my favorite additions include:
• Our check out area that now has four registers instead of two. Most of the time two is all we need but often we have events that require more than that. At our last birthday celebration we had three registers going with lines going all the way to the walls on the other end of the store. It was madness!
• The aisles in the back area of the shopping space are so long.
• Of course I have to show you the American Crafts Thickers wall.
• The space for our Seasonal and Latest and Greatest sections are so much bigger.
In the old store it was sometimes an impossible puzzle trying to figure out where everything was going to go. I don't think we'll have that problem here since we now have three walls dedicated to those sections.
It was so much fun to be there today and here everyone that walked in say, "Wow!" including our UPS guy.
Like I said yesterday, there is still a lot of work to finish our vision. We have so many plans that we are anxious to get started on and I can't wait to see the finished result.

What an amazing space! You've done a wonderful job already...I can only imagine what your end-vision will be!
WOW! I can't believe all of those Thickers. The store looks so nice.
I can't wait to come see my parents over Spring Break at the end of March. Of course, I don't just come to see my parents, I'll have to come see the store. I'll have to save some money up before then!
Congrats!
I am going to work hard to convince my husband he needs a vacation to Branson & Springfield. We always come in the summer but I don't think I can wait that long to see your amazing new store. I can hardly imagine a store better than the one you already had!

An amazing store....I'm sure I could spend hours and hours in your store!! Thanks for posting the photos!
The store looks great and it's huge. So much fun stuff to look at and buy. Congratulations again and you have all done a great job setting it up. I like all the "themes" you showed us. I hope to get there sometime this year. Have fun and maybe do a layout about this in the future.
Wait - where is this store?!? I NEED to be there! GORGEOUS!
Good question!! Where is this?? :) Looks AMAZING!! I am in Thicker heaven!!!!
I'm a new follower too... and antsy to find out where this store is! My husband just walked in the room and had to clean the drool off the keyboard for me! :)
If you ever walk by the "Thickers" aisle and see a woman sitting on the floor just staring straight ahead with glazed eyes, please don't call "mental hotline" because it would be me and I'm not crazy! That picture of the "Thickers" has to be one of the most amazing photos that I've ever seen so if I should make it out that way one day, you betcha.... I'm gonna sit and stare for awhile ;-P
oh and by the way.... congrats on the gorgeous new store!
Thank you all for the congrats! We're pretty excited about it!
For those of you that asked, our store is located in Springfield, MO. :)
