DATE: January 1, 2022
Happy New Year! It’s my hope that it’ll be a great year for all of you! I’m not sure where 2021 went, but I, for one, am glad to be headed into 2022.
Unfortunately, I have to be the bearer of bad news almost immediately. We’re now officially in the season of price changes. I’m sure you’ve all seen notices rolling in from suppliers and it’s no different for us. We continue to live in unprecedented times and frequent price increases are part of this new landscape.
Supply chain issues continue and honestly, that won’t be changing anytime soon. Everyone is doing their best to keep supply flowing, but we’re still seeing delays and shorts. Every time I get optimistic about this changing, we get a new catastrophe, so I’m just not going to say anything positive about it anymore. Clearly my optimism is a curse!
As for more fun news – 2022 innovations will start appearing here slowly. We’re starting the year with new Maynards gummies – Berries & Cream and Sour Patch Kids Grape! I’m really excited for these. We’ll also have a new kind of Caramilk – Salted Caramel! These should be in the warehouse in early-mid January! Don’t worry, you’ll get an announcement as soon as they arrive.
We’ve spent December working with Bre to re-organize the Omni order form to better serve you. Hopefully the new format will make ordering a bit more streamlined. We know it’ll take a bit of getting used to, but we’re confident you’ll like it once you’re adjusted! The majority of the large changes were in the grocery, hardware, and household sections. You’ll notice that the “Party-Toys” section is gone completely – these items have been integrated into the “Household” section.
