SHOPPING SPREE! Came and Went...

About a month ago, Jeff Staple worked with friends over at JoshSpear.com to do a little holiday contest. They asked a trivia question and 4 winners were randomly chosen from the people who answered correctly. The winners got a 30 second shopping spree to run through Reed Annex and grab whatever could fit inside one of REED's jumbo sized shopping bags. Brings me back to that game show Supermarket Sweep!
The question was: Why did founder, Jeff Staple name his store Reed Space? Jeff was actually pretty surprised at how many people knew the answer. But alas, only 4 lucky winners were drawn from that lot. When it came down to doing the shopping spree, it was a lot funnier than expected. We'll never know why, but when the clock is running people just freak out! There is some strategy involved. Large big ticket items are great but you can probably only get a few into the shopping bag. Smaller items are worth less, but you can cram more of them into the bag. Anyway, it was hilarious to see each person's attack method.






Congratulations to the lucky/ knowledgeable winners...
