Fair Trade Fairs - 2007

Greetings fair trade supporters!

Many of you have been asking where you can buy products from www.World-Shoppe.com in person. Well, we're happy to report two exciting developments:

1) www.World-Shoppe.com will be opening up its first retail space in the Andersonville neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois! We'll be opening in a few weeks and will make sure to let every single person we know about it - in the meantime, share the info with your friends and family! We'll be at the Andersonville Galleria at 5247 N. Clark Street (for those of you familiar with the area, it's Foster and Clark streets). Yippee!

2) Holiday fairs are an important part of our business as it not only allows us to communicate the message of fair trade, but also allows us to interact with customers one on one and to share the stories of each of our products. I'm very excited to share that we've increased the number of events by DOUBLE this year. So, no excuses, Chicagoans, you can definitely find us somewhere to purchase your fair trade holiday gifts this year!
