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?

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!
