“But Thanksgiving is more than eating, Chuck. You heard what Linus was saying out there. Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together. I think that’s what they mean by ‘Thanksgiving’, Charlie Brown.” – Marcie Johnson
Here is what we have going on this week, Monday, November 23 – Saturday, November 28:
THANKSGIVING PREORDERS
Today is the last day to get your order in for Thanksgiving. Zach and our team will be preparing soups and sides made fresh and from scratch, available for pickup on Wednesday. The menu includes winter squash soup, sweet potato casserole, dressing, whole cakes, and ciabatta bread. You can call in your order @ 256.760.1090. Visit here for complete details.
CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING
In celebration of Thanksgiving, The Factory and the Alabama Chanin offices will be closed on Thursday, November 26. Thank you for your understanding as our staff takes time off to spend with their families. Wherever you may find yourself, have safe travels and make good memories.
BLACK FRIDAY SAVINGS
We’ll open our doors from 10:00am – 7:00pm on Friday, November 27 for annual savings. Natalie will also be hosting Stammtisch from 5:00pm – 7:00pm, as part of our Café Nights. Get your holiday shopping on during the day—or that evening. Stay for lively conversation, board games, special drinks, or a glass of wine.
SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY
The savings will continue in store on Saturday, as we participate in Small Business Saturday from 10:00am – 4:00pm. You can also join us for Saturday Brunch from 10:00am – 2:00pm. Take a break from leftovers, and enjoy fresh farm eggs, made from scratch biscuits and gravy, mimosas, and our own blend of The Factory coffee (also available by the pound).
The holiday season is here and we have many offerings in our Holiday Shop (available in store and online). In addition to our recent collections, we have accessories, jewelry, kitchen wares, home goods, and one-of-a-kind items. The Factory also houses select items from local and regional artisans and purveyors. Gift Cards for The Factory are now available for purchase.
Visit us to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. We invite you to explore all we have to offer, as you make your wish list for the holidays.
