Yep, The Patch’s great divide has occurred, and co-workers have turned to rivals this summer. Well, we still love each other, but now there’s just a little healthy competition thrown into the equation.

If you’ve been in the store recently, you may have noticed a big poster board behind the main cash. This board is sacred to us. It’s divided into four, hence the four teams we’ve been split into. These teams consist of: Team Indecsive (lame, we know, but that’s what you get for not being able to decide on a team name after a month of summer), Benny and the Jets, the Sour Patch Kids, and the Rebel Squadron. Our score-keeping system may cause a flashback to elementary school, but hey, it works for us. We use spirit stars to keep track of not only which team is full of enthusiasm this summer, but also which individual Patchie.

So, where does the competition start? Let us first draw your attention to the theme days. The Patchies that go all out and have ridiculously amazing costumes earn themselves two stars (that’s the top of the crop). The Patchies that wear a mediocre costume earn themselves one, and the Patchies that are just no fun and don’t dress up get absolutely nothing (but shame). We also hangout a lot outside of work, and when we do, we like to have some relays every so often. This is where many of the team spirit points come from, and these points are the final determining point for the top team at the end of summer.

Other than pride and bragging rights, the winning teams gets a day full of fun, provided by our ever-so-loving boss. So there is definitely an incentive! Come by and checkout the Spirit Board, and we’ll tell you whatever you want to know about this rivalry! We also hope this give you an incentive to come by and check out our next theme day on August 15th, when the store will be filled with ridiculous costumes once again! Cheers!

Got you thinking about the ’90s yet? Well, the decade is sure to be on your mind tomorrow! Let the nostalgia take over as you enter The Patch on our ‘90s Theme Day! What to expect? Well, besides the resurfaced urge to end every sentence with “not” and pull out your old hair scrunchies, you can expect to step into the ’90s when you enter our store, hearing ’90s tunes and seeing Patchies dressed just as totally rad as they were in the ’90s. Yes — just to clarify — our regular wardrobes aren’t so full of these dated clothes!

While you’re by, make sure to check out all of our new clothing and accessories. And we have a special surprise for you (but we’ll spill on here)! We have a lot of customers asking if we have any deals on our sterling silver, and we always have to regretfully tell you to be patient until the Bag Sale. But wait no more, because we’ve figured out a deal for you all! Here’s how it works:

If you buy one sterling silver piece, you get the second for 20% off.

If you buy two sterling silver pieces, you get the third for 40% off.

If you buy three sterling silver pieces, you get the fourth for 60% off.

If you buy four sterling silver pieces, you get the fifth for 80% off.

If you buy five sterling silver pieces, you get the sixth for free!

So stop by, go crazy, have fun. Remember, the ’90s are the new ’80s!

See you soon!

Well, not quite… but we did have an employee dressed as one! What was the occasion, you may ask? It was our theme day, Nautical Nonsense! Thanks to our creative staff and fun-loving customers, a successful first theme day of the summer was made possible. While we received a mixture of enthused customers and crazy looks, we had a blast, and hope you were entertained!

We frequently encountered positive feedback, along with people seriously questioning our sanity. Even so, us Patchies had a bundle of fun, despite looking like crazies for a day. What, you people aren’t used to seeing employees dressed as sailors, seaweed, treasure chests, crabs, or shipwrecks? If you ask us, you’re the weirdos! We’re just kidding, of course. Now maybe you’ll know to expect the unexpected when it comes to our staff!

Stay tuned for our next theme day, which is in only 10 days! Excited to find out the theme? We’re excited to tell you! I’ll give you a hint — get ready to participate in a day filled with the music of oh-so-dreamy boy bands! Haven’t quite figured it out? Good, we like to keep you on your toes. So, see you then! But please, remember to pay us a visit in the meantime!

The countdown is on!

Love, the Patchies
