At the Fantastic General Store, our merchandise changes depending on the season. We’ve got the practical items like snow shovels, bug repellant, and warm or cool clothes. We also have merchandise that changes with the holidays, like Christmas trees and Easter baskets. Sometimes how long these items are kept on the salesfloor depends on the location where the store is. Obviously, the store in the Snow Queen’s kingdom is going to need to keep the sleds and snow shovels out longer than the store on the lava planet. Sometimes the habits of the locals determine how long certain merchandise stays out. Locations with die-hard Christmas enthusiasts can get away with keep the Christmas ornaments out longer than other stores. So if you see differences in seasonal merchandising that don’t make sense, take a look at the climate and clientele of the store. There may be a reason why the snow boots are still out.
