The evening that I had been working toward since I was hired finally arrived...the Grand Opening party of M&S. After months and months of planning, with live models in the windows and live mannequins on the shop floor, 500+ people flew through the doors at exactly 6:00 sharp and guzzled bottles of champagne, ate catered finger foods, listened to live saxophone, rode the first escalator in Guernsey and did a bit of shopping. It was a successful party and Chad flew all the way from Dallas to celebrate with all of Guernsey!
The brand new store before all the chaos began...
A champagne toast with all the staff before doors opened to the public.
Guests gathering outside.
The ribbon cutting ceremony by two of the oldest members of staff. Both have worked for the Creaseys for over 40 years.
Finally when things started to wind down, I could enjoy myself and have a few glasses of champagne.
Sue with GBG magazine. The night I got talked into my photo shoot/ Cup of coffee article.
Our store, quayside.
The next day, we were all moving a little slow, but the weather was
beautiful so we took Chad on a cliff walk.
We ended his stay with a nice tapas dinner and some live music at one of our favorite spots.
