Sports Authority is now open for business at the MAMMOTH new Homestead Pavilion shopping complex. The official grand opening celebration of the joint is scheduled for next Saturday (October 25TH) from 8 AM to 9:30 AM; however, an 8-day ‘soft opening’ is now in-progress. Check them out from 9 AM to 9:30 PM Monday to Saturday and from 10 AM to 8 PM on Sunday.
Kohl’s opens at 8 AM every morning except at 9 AM on Sunday mornings.
Introducing … Sports Authority to Homestead ! The Grand Opening is scheduled for Friday October 17TH 2008; however, keep checking that store (at the Homestead Pavilion) in the days leading up to that official opening date because they may very well do a soft opening to test various systems out.
Wanna work there ? Go here.
Kohl’s is open early. According to their official web site they open at 8 AM Monday to Friday, 7 AM on Saturday, and 9 AM on Sunday. Shop early to avoid the crowds !
I had the whole wide store to myself for a good half hour of browsing fun. That was at Kohl’s this morning at the MAMMOTH new Homestead Pavilion shopping complex. I actually spent nearly an hour in that beautiful store, and I was very impressed with what they had to offer. Think of it as an upscale Target (which in turn is an upscale Wal Mart). If you’re looking for clothes, kitchen appliances, and bedroom and bathroom accessories then go and check out Kohl’s.
After Kohl’s I went to Starbucks where I picked-up a delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte and a delightful slice of Pumpkin Loaf (bread).
I always experience the weirdest scenarios at Starbucks. When I pulled in to the parking lot I was actually concerned whether or not they were even open for business. There was nobody there. When I walked in to the joint I was the only one there (aside from a few baristas). I was actually able to review the menu board for more than 10 seconds to see what I really wanted. Unfortunately it wasn’t much more than 10 seconds, for just as soon as I was trying to figure out what I wanted to order – a couple walked in – then another couple – then an entire family – then even more people. Before I knew it I was literally holding up the line for at least a dozen sleepy people ! I pretty much defaulted on the whole ‘pumpkin’ idea. The pumpkin loaf was actually not my idea, but the barista’s idea for me. Luckily for her it turned out to be moist and delicious.
And so those – my friends – are my ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ for this go-’round. I’ll leave you with this interesting news item from Tokyo Japan. Check it out:
UNCERTAINTY AT JAPANESE BANKS
Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the U.K. uncertainty has now hit Japan. In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up, and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore 500 staff members at Karate Bank got the chop, and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.
It’s Friday night my friends, and I’m heading over to the hot new Kohl’s at the Homestead Pavilion bright and early tomorrow morning just as soon as they open for business don-cha-know. I plan to help out the struggling economy by buying things ! Hopefully I can get through that store before the mass stampede of shoppers arrive. 😯
Once I return home from Kohl’s I’ll have your ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ posted here on the big blog. Later in the day you won’t want to miss ‘Saturday Night Retro’ as we get in line to board the choo-choo to transport ourselves back 35 years ago to 1973. Ya dig that ? Groovy man !
On Sunday afternoon be sure to check out the ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’.
It’s gonna be a soaking wet Saturday here in Homestead – a perfect day to sleep in, stay at home, and relax where it’s safe and peaceful with your loved ones. Just be sure to get to Life Pointe Church on Sunday morning in time for one of our three services – at 8:30, 9:45, and 11:00. Get there early. You won’t regret it pal.
And so until we hang out again my friends – oh yeah – you’re gonna totally love this one … REMEMBER THIS !
Look at all of that gorgeous hair that I used to have !
