Re: My Penzeys store closed. I'm sad.

Retail stores of all types seem to be struggling.  Why get dressed and use gas to drive to a store when you can just pick up your iPad and order it on Amazon?  I think we'll see more and more go under.

Re: My Penzeys store closed. I'm sad.

Stargazer77, I am so sorry to hear you are losing your Penzeys store!!! Smiley Sad I don't know

what I'd do if they closed ours! 😦 There is a Penzeys store in our house according to my better half, lol! I mean I know you can order on line, but seriously I forget were the Shallot Pepper is ever time I run out and there is this sweet sales lady who knows us when we come in and she has gotten really good at asking me, "How are you set on Shallot Pepper?" 

I love going in there and finding what I need, and if I forget the coupon for whatever free gift they have going on (I've only done it twice) she just gives me the promotional item and says, "I know you guys, you aren't some people try to take advantage of us. Don't worry about forgetting it, it is fine." 

I am sincerely sorry to hear your Penzeys store is closing Stargazer77.

By the way, I have had my eye on that Chicago Steak Seasoning!!!! It you try it out on anything and feel like telling me how you like it I would love to hear your thoughts! Smiley Happy

I wish I could snap my fingers and keep your Penzeys store open. Smiley Sad

 

Sincerely,

Nicole 🌼

The one in Orlando closed also about a year ago.  They were located at one of the tram stops and don't know why they didn't suceed.

 

I go to the one in Sarasota when I am on that coast.

Re: My Penzeys store closed. I'm sad.

I would like to suggest:

 

The Spice House

 

thespicehouse.com

 

It is owned and operated by the Penzy daughter.  Love to support women owned businesses when I can!

 

They have a few stores in IL and Wisconsin but their online shopping experience has been fantastic!

 

I use them exclusively.  They have a huge selection and very unique blends.  They had some things I just couldn't find anywhere else.

 

Their prices are somewhat lower and they have free shipping deals all the time if you sign up for their emails.  You can also request their full catalog online and they will mail it to you.

I'm sorry your favorite store closed.  I live in Pennsylvania and never heard of Penzeys.  Do they only sell spices?

Their store in my old hometown moved locations ten years ago and is doing better.  But maybe they are finding more people are going the mail order route.  Great promotions and free samples in almost every order.

Penzeys is great!  I am fortunate to have one (in Dallas) about 20 minutes from me, but it's not always convenient to go there so I sometimes order online when I need enough not to have to pay for shipping and use one of their coupons which are so good.  One great thing about ordering online is I've always gotten an additional small free bottle (sometimes more than one) in my order. 

 

@Stargazer77, sorry to hear your store has closed, but it's good that you can continue to get their products online.

@RespectLife My cousin shops here.  I will look into it and maybe ask for a catalog to be sent to me.  Thank you for the suggestion.  I will also ask my cousin what she likes.
