With the exuberance often associated with ew <br /> businesses, the Brawns began to chaage the look and feel of the gift shop concessions at <br /> Eugene a little at a time, adding to the selections, increasing reading options, and <br /> incorporating new display techniques. <br /> Last fall, Emerald City News and Gifts successfully remodeled the upstairs gift shop, <br /> adding a new store front, new lighting, and new displays that changed the look and appeal <br /> of that store, significantly updating the concourse area. Anxious to maintain their <br /> momentum and complete their vision of what they wanted for local travelers, planning <br /> soon began for the remodel of the main store located in the lobby area. lust over two <br /> weeks ago, Dan and Carolyn began to work on the creation of a gift shop that they <br /> envisioned as an attractive "total package", drawing passengers into the retail space where <br /> they will not only find specific items they want, but will be presented with an <br /> extraordinary array of other fine goods specifically targeted to meet their needs as air <br /> travelers. <br /> <br /> i <br /> The fmal touches have~been taken care of, and the doors to the new store are now open to <br /> the public. At first glance, it is abundantly clear that the Brawns have succeeded in their <br /> overall desire - "to provide Eugene air passengers with everything they want, expect and <br /> deserve from a retail concession". <br /> If you' d like more information, please feel free to contact Dan Brawn at 689-6641. <br /> <br />
