Why you should be a gold digger

By Kris Wolfe | January 6, 2013 |

Clarksville, TN - Some people expect too much.  Some would even like the world dipped in chocolate and spoon fed to them. Frankly, there are times when we all expect too much.  We would love for our homes to be picture perfect, our kids to be genius world-class athletes, and our pie to be fat free.

But then there are other times, when we should expect more. And we don’t. Don’t settle for bronze, or even fool’s gold when you deserve the real thing! «Read the rest of this article»

Lacking Christmas Presence

By Mat Lasater | December 17, 2012 |

I decided to hold off on writing anything lately.  For one, I’ve been extremely busy with helping to prepare the opening of Zack & Heather Gates’ next LASATERS® location in Cleveland, TN.

Secondly, every time I think of writing, I draw a blank – not just a blank, but a not-getting-a-single-thing-to-write-about, blank. I think, that now, I know why… it’s Christmas… kind of.

For over the past month I’ve been traveling to Cleveland each week for 3-4 days at a time. I’ve been working with Zack (and sometimes my oldest son, Joriah) on his store build out; the cabinetry, the pergola-styled booth seating, the counter tops, administrative stuff to prep for opening, and what feels like a million other things. «Read the rest of this article»

How to Make Your Christmas Shopping Just a Bit Easier

By Sue Freeman Culverhouse | December 7, 2010 |

Christmas shopping can be fun or exhausting—or both! Here are a few hints to make it a bit easier.

First, if you want a specific item, call ahead to see if it’s in the store. How many times have you read an ad that shows the exact item in which you are interested only to find out when you reach the shop that it is sold out? A phone call can prevent this problem.

Suppose you have trouble reaching anyone in the department where the item is located. Ask for the manager. If the manager is uncooperative, shop elsewhere. Usually the manager will get the answer you need; after all, that’s why this person who gives better service was promoted!

What if you are in a crowded store and the department in which you want to buy a gift has a long line? Take it to another department where the line is shorter. With computerized scanning of each item, you should be able to buy the item anywhere in the store. «Read the rest of this article»
