DownEast Basics Goes Metro with Newest Store Opening in Washington State

DownEast Basics, a high-style, low-price retailer of trendy fashions as well as modest clothing, pleased both longtime and new fans when it opened a store this past weekend at the Westfield Southcenter mall.

The third DownEast location in Washington state but the first in metro Seattle, the new store proved immediately popular with shoppers, including those who have been tracking its opening date on the brand's Facebook page. To officially celebrate the store's grand opening, DownEast is offering customers a chance to win a shopping spree during a weeklong "Shopping's More Fun with Your Girlfriends" giveaway.

"Typically, we 'ring' in a new store with a grand opening celebration about a week after we have the soft launch," said Jonathan Freedman, vice president of Apparel, DownEast. "But, when many of our Seattle fans saw our opening date announcement on Facebook, they told their friends and made plans to pay us a visit. Already, our sales numbers have validated our decision to open the new metro Seattle store."

DownEast is a favorite among shoppers due to its "boutique on a budget" philosophy of providing stylish, quality clothing at affordable prices. For many of its store openings since 2008, DownEast has selected malls outside of the downtown hub areas, instead targeting suburban shoppers. It also considers the demand for its product in geographic areas based on fan interaction through social media, as well as online and catalog sales.

"DownEast fans have been sending emails and posting on our Facebook wall asking us to open a store in Seattle for some time. And, sales from our online site and catalog have also been significant in this area," said Freedman. "Based on those two factors, we decided to again grow our retail footprint in the state, this time targeting a metropolitan shopping center."

Open in time for back-to-school shopping, the new store will carry the full line of DownEast clothing and accessories for women, including fall jackets and sweaters, denim, dresses and skirts infused with the latest fall trends. It will also carry DownEast's clothing for girls.

In addition to the new Seattle location, DownEast also operates stores in Kennewick and Spokane.

DownEast Offers "Shopping's More Fun with Your Girlfriends" Giveaway

To celebrate the Seattle store opening, DownEast is offering a chance to enter a "Shopping's More Fun with Your Girlfriends" giveaway from Friday, Aug. 12 to Friday, Aug. 19, 2011. Customers can register for the giveaway at the new Westfield Southcenter location. The giveaway will award one lucky winner a shopping spree valued at $200 and also present a $50 gift certificate to each of four friends selected by the winner. The winner does not have to be present at the time of the drawing on Saturday, Aug. 20, to win.

For contest updates and fashion news, customers can join the DownEast Basics Facebook Fan Page. They can also follow the DownEast By Design blog (downeastbasicsblog.com) for insights from DownEast's Product Development team.

Visit the New DownEast Basics Store in Seattle

The new DownEast Basics store is in the Westfield Southcenter Shopping Center at 2800 Southcenter Mall in Seattle, Washington. The store is located on the ground level, near the Apple Store and Gap.

Cassie Emmet, a DownEast employee since 2009, will manage the store's staff of seven. She started with the company as a sales associate, working at a DownEast Home & Clothing store in the St. George, Utah, area before being promoted last year to clothing manager.

Square Rolling Out New Disposable Electronic Cigarettes at NACS Show in Chicago

Square, the manufacturer of long-lasting, high-quality disposable electronic cigarettes (or e-cig), will present their top selling Square 82 and four new varieties of disposable electronic cigarettes this weekend in Chicago at the NACS Show Expo. The expo brings together suppliers of and buyers for convenience stores of all sizes. Square will occupy booth 954.

Square's low disposable e-cigs' price puts them in the reach of most consumers. Because they last approximately 500 puffs (equivalent to 2 packs of traditional cigarettes), they most often make better economic sense than investing in rechargeable e-cigs.

"We are the top-selling disposable electronic cigarette brand at convenience stores and airports," said Mike Ahmad of PhD Marketing, representing Square. "The NACS Show fashion jackets Expo is an opportunity for Square to partner with new convenience store buyers, who will appreciate the product's low unit price and fast turnover. It's the 'churn, but not burn' product for the industry."

Square will feature their popular Square 82 disposable electronic cigarette and four new e-cigarettes at the expo. The first three have lower nicotine delivery in each blast than the 18 mg delivered from the Square 82, and are often used by people to wean themselves off cigarettes. The new Gold model delivers 12 mg nicotine blasts, the Silver delivers 8 mg of nicotine, and the White contains no nicotine at all. Square is also introducing their new Pink e-cig they think will be big with the ladies. It delivers 18 mg puffs of nicotine and tastes like strawberries.

Square 82 e-cigarettes are becoming a popular smoking alternative because they feel a lot like inhaling cigarette smoke, but only dispel harmless water vapor with little to no aroma—so they can be enjoyed almost anywhere. The product does not produce dangerous secondhand smoke or stink up the room or clothes or breath.

NACS Show Expo hours are October 2 and 3 from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm and October 4 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm.

NACS was founded August 14, 1961, as the National Association of Convenience Stores. It is an international trade association that represents more than 2,100 retail and 1,500 supplier company members. Although the majority of members are based in the United States, NACS member companies do business in nearly 50 countries worldwide. The US convenience store industry, with more than 146,000 stores across the country, posted $575.6 billion in total sales in 2010, with $385.3 billion in motor fuels sales.

NACS serves the convenience and petroleum retailing industry by providing industry knowledge, connections and advocacy to ensure the competitive viability of its members' businesses. In 2007, the association shortened its name to NACS and added a qualifying statement that better defines its presence both internationally and at the retail fueling level: The Association for Convenience and Petroleum Retailing. In 2010, this statement was further enhanced to The Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing.

For more information about Square 82 e-cigs, please visit the company website at http://www.squaresmoke.com or call 1-888-900-6896.
