Dear Friends,

Like all of you, I am nervous and even scared by what we are all experiencing. I am listening to the news and ensuring I am doing what we are asked to be doing, and that is staying home!

On Wednesday, March 18, we took the initiative to close all 4 locations. We felt our staff, customers and consignors deserved this from us. Was this a difficult decision to make? Yes, just like all of you, we have bills etc. to pay. It has always been my philosophy to run the business and treat others like I would want to be treated. I know I wouldn’t want to be putting myself in danger, so the decision was made. I had help from the fabulous group that supports me in so many ways. Our HR person was in touch with our employees the same day and offered them assistance with the layoffs, the Bookkeeper shared information on how to handle the procedure for the government website and the Accountant offered advice.

This company, “The Millionaire's Daughter”, is not run by one person. It is run by everyone that works for/with me along with you, our customers and consignors. The concern for my staff was of the utmost importance. They are staying in touch and offering kind words to each other. Everyone will be back once the government gives us the ok and the staff feels that it’s the right time for them.

Some businesses are offering online shopping with an opportunity to pick up. Even though this would help us it will not help our community. We are closed. No one is in the stores. We are all at home and hope that everyone is doing the same. We need to get ahead of this.

We are opening our email to all that have questions on holds, consigning and pickups. You can forward questions to media@themillionairesdaughter.com. We are looking forward to all becoming a big family again and you can count on us as we count on all of you.

Maureen
