Nashville Wraps

This year has been tough for lots of people, and Nashville Wraps is no different. But we are doing well because like you we are flexible and in charge of our own direction, growth and destiny for the most part. When times get tough successful businesses that survive actually become better.

Out with the old ways…in with new. For example we have totally eliminated our service fee on small orders. You can buy only what you need, when you need it. One customer made this happen, this week. All of us can and should listen to our customers and make ourselves easier to do business with.

I am very thankful that I can still come to work with my friends, family and associates and be able to make a difference. As we count our blessings this year, we also think of others not as fortunate:

Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide are to be shuttered
Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, and Catherine’s to close 150 stores nationwide
Eddie Bauer to close stores 27 stores and more after January
Cache will close all stores Talbot’s closing down all stores
J. Jill closing all stores
GAP closing 85 stores
Footlocker closing 140 stores more to close after January
Wickes Furniture closing down
Levitz closing down remaining stores
Bombay closing remaining stores
Zale’s closing down 82 stores and 105 after January
Whitehall closing all stores
Piercing Pagoda closing all stores
Disney closing 98 stores and will close more after January
Home Depot closing 15 stores 1 in NJ (New Brunswick)
Macys to close 9 stores after January
Linens and Things closing all stores
Movie Galley Closing all stores
Pacific Sunware closing stores
Pep Boys Closing 33 stores
Sprint / Nextel closing 133 stores
JC Penney closing a number of stores after January
Ethan Allen closing down 12 stores
Wilson Leather closing down all stores
Sharper Image closing down all stores
K B Toys closing 356 stores
Loews to close down some stores
Dillard’s to close some stores

I am very thankful for our customers, employees, and suppliers. Also the fact that in this great country (yes…still great) we can have a difference of opinion and express it in freedom, then sit around the same table and work it out with each other. May God continue to bless our land, our families, and our businesses.

    This is my first time ordering! I think your bags are really pretty and will be an attractive addition to my aromatherapy products for the Holidays. I enjoyed reading your Blog (sad about all the closings) – I can see that you are a company with HEART.
    THANK YOU!

    that was a smart and very considerate thing to do in this economy. People have to keep inventory down and don’t aslwyas need so much Its makes for good business!

    I had no idea it was so many businesses closing! I’m going to post this on my blog, too. Wow.

    Thank you so much for continuing to cater to the “little guy”. I hope we can thrive and stand out from the giants!

    Good luck to everyone as we reach the cusp of the busiest week of the year!!!
