Title: TOYS FOR KIDS XMAS CRUISE
Post by: sylvrinvader on October 23, 2008, 09:55:55 PM
ok heres the scoop. i know a manager at TOYS R US @ market mall and i  thought this would help so i had a chat with him. On sunday Nov. 9th starting at 8;00 pm - 9;00 pm any one getting a gift for this charity run gets an additional     10 % off everything in the store even if its already on sale. ;D  also if you are buying for your own kids you get the discount as well  ;D ;D ;D  and the store is CLOSED to the public. the store is having a friends and family sale and because we are doing this for the kids they are letting us in on this sale. so because we have no actual coupon for this the only way they will let you in the store is by telling them at the door is that YOU ARE HERE FOR THE CHARITY RUN and they will let you in. so if you know anyone else doing this run pass this info on to them and other 4x4 clubs please. the more toys the better.



location:       Market Mall TOYS R US only
date:             Sun. Nov. 9, 08
time:            8:00pm - 9:00 pm   
password:    im here for the charity run

Nice work, have to see if we can set up the same type of deal up here.  Last year we had Toy Liquidators on board, we'll have to see if Toys R Us would like to help out as well.  I don't supopose your manager friend knows if the Edmonton locations are having a similar "Friends and Family Night"?  And if so, who we might talk to about getting our "4x4 elves" in for some shopping. :D

i will ask him

Hey again, been a little while now and was wondering if you'd had any word from your manager friend as to whether the Edmonton Toys R Us are also having this type of discounted deal for Toy Runs up here?
Title: Re: TOYS FOR KIDS XMAS CRUISE

It certainly doesn't hurt to ask about assistance from the retail community.

I can tell you that for years at the Edmonton motorcycle toy run, the Wal-Mart at the Capilano Mall gathering point has been open and offering generous discounts on toys to motorcyclists walking prior to departure. I believe there were near 4,000 bikes this year. If half of them hit that store they did a handsome toy business that Sunday morning.

If these runs grow, it might be worth thinking about a retail parking lot departure location at some point when size dictates. It would be serving up thousands in sales to the store.

Now that's a good idea!  There's a nice big Toys R Us on the southside of Edmonton - I'll have to have some discussions with them folks prior to next year's run! ;D
