The elves (apprentices) have been hard at work transforming Homesteads for Hope’s winter space into a retail operation. Homesteads for Hope received a generous donation of clothing and shoes, and have used the donation to create Santa’s Workshop. This “store” has given apprentices the full retail experience, including inventory, stocking, customer service, cash register, and money math.
Santa’s Workshop is now open for Homesteads for Hope members to come in and shop for the holidays. There is a nice variety of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. It is tax free and shoppers can draw for a discount at the door. Cash and credit cards accepted.
The store is located at 50 Vantage Point Drive, Suite 3A, Rochester, and will be open through December 16. Store hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 3 p.m. Stop in and give the elves the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have developed.
