Happy Summer Saints!
I can’t believe that in three short weeks we will have a full campus for the fall semester. I sure do miss having all of the students and faculty on campus during the summer working with and hanging out with the dedicated staff. But we had plenty of visitors with camps and conferences keeping us on our toes and busy.
We navigated through yearend inventory in June and moved right into receiving gobs of new merchandise in July and now August. We’ve added a few more things including additional personal care items, Carroll-themed and religious artwork, and are working on expanding our Made in Montana selections as well. We have also been making a few changes in the store too, trying new layouts, and moving a few things around to try and make your experience here better and easier.
On to the news:
Purple Frenzy – The first home football game of the year is Saturday, August 27, against Montana Western and it will be a Purple Frenzy! All purple t-shirts and sweatshirts (excluding namedrop shirts) will be on sale 25% off the week of August 22-27. Let’s fill the stands with a wave of Purple Frenzy.
First Friday – This school year's first First Friday Sale will be Friday, September 2, and to get you all ready to go for the new school year, we will be featuring items to help you get into the Carroll spirit. Flags, banners, pennants, pillows, Carroll-themed artwork, and games will be on sale for 25% off that day only.
Textbooks – If you ordered your textbooks prior to August 6, they should arrive in time for you to pick them up here at the Saints’ Shoppe on move-in day, August 21. Notification emails will not be sent for any textbooks received prior to August 21, email notifications will be sent out for any textbooks received after that date. So please be sure to check in with the Saints’ Shoppe staff on move-in day to pick up any textbooks that have been received.
