June is often a busy month. School wraps up. Plans for summer trips and projects get finalized. Garden and yard work explode. And a steady stream of events like birthdays, graduations, Father's Day and the Stanley Cup finals demand our attention.
At Take A Hike we're committed to making your shopping as easy as possible. We stock a wide range of summer products and if we don't have what you're looking for, we'll call around and find out who does.
So when you're ready to update your wardrobe, pick up last minute items for your camping trip, stock up on summer toys for the kids or find that special Father's Day gift, make sure you come see us.
You can also enjoy savings this month during the Bay & Algoma Summer Sidewalk Sale and our late night Summer Solstice Sale. Read on for details.
Looking forward to helping you make the most of your summer,
Diane & the staff of Take A Hike |

| "NEW" Facebook Page & Twitter for Take A Hike | |
Helping us stay connected 
Social media and e-marketing methods are changing the way we do business. This past month we've launched a "new" Facebook "page", opened a "TakeahikeStore" Twitter account and as you can see we've published another e-newsletter. A store blog isn't far off.
These methods will never replace the in-store relationships we build with our customers but they will help us better stay in touch between visits.
Please JOIN THE CONVERSATION on our new Facebook Page or follow us on Twitter. Just click on the icons below.
Previous group members are asked to re-join. |
