Garrison's Backpack Drive!

I think most of us can agree that children and adolescents can only benefit from attending and participating in a well-rounded, positive educational situation. In other words, going to school! The skills and knowledge acquired, the development of social & personal interactions, and the endless opportunities presented as minds develop. Essentially, schools’ ability to manifest smarter, happier, and healthier individuals & communities cannot be understated.     There is another side of th ....

Phoenix Rising (Part 1)

We are like the Phoenix. Rising again, with a new life ahead of us.     Most local residents are aware that we lost our two Phoenix stores in the devastating Almeda Fire that tore through the valley in September 2020. Although extremely grateful that no team members were hurt and very conscious that our losses didn’t compare with the thousands of residents who lost everything, we still of course felt the sting of that grim day. Our resolve was strong though, and it was never a question ....

Garrison’s Rewards Program! Why Wouldn’t You?!

We’re going to set the stage by going back in time awhile. Hundreds of years ago, retailers began rewarding customers for purchases with copper tokens which could later be redeemed for discounts or even merchandise. In time, the tokens evolved into stamps, loyalty coupons, plastic cards & fobs and a whole host of other receipts which were used to record and track a customer’s earned rewards. A piggy bank if you will, which after enough saving up you can start redeeming and enjoying rewards a ....

15 Years!...REALLY?!

As some of you may know, Garrison’s is celebrating our 15th year in business in 2022. Incredible, to say the least. As we come down from a crazy start to the year and our 15th annual Anniversary Sale having wrapped up, now would be a great time to do a little reminiscing, reflecting, and yeah, some cringing.  It’s also a perfect time to look ahead and share what we have planned and have high hopes for, this year and beyond!    All the way back in 2006 (a different world no doubt, fill ....
