e-Commerce Craft Supplies Firm Expands to New, Larger Retail Operation.

Wilde-Ideas Craft Supplies proudly announces the grand re-opening of its new, larger retail operation.

July 7, 2005, Clearwater, FL - Wilde-Ideas Craft Supplies proudly announces the Grand Re-Opening of its new, larger retail operation.

"Our new retail operation provides us the venue to showcase Rubber Tree Stamps, a nationally and internationally recognized manufacturer of art rubber stamps acquired by Wilde-Ideas in March, 2005. With our new, larger facility, we have expanded to over 5,000 in-stock items, representing one of the most comprehensive selections of rubber stamping and scrapbooking supplies in the Greater Tampa Bay area.

We feature a dedicated Classroom where both regional and nationally recognized instructors like Suze Weinberg teach rubber stamping and scrapbooking techniques to all levels of students. The classroom is fully stocked with tools available for use by our customers at no charge during certain pre-set hours. A rental program is available for shoppers to rent various machines and tools that may otherwise be cost-prohibitive.

In-store shoppers enjoy the same price levels available online, providing the best of both worlds for our customers. We also offer the added convenience of Will-Call (customer pick-up) for local customers who prefer ordering online, but want to save the cost of shipping. Our new, larger retail store positions Wilde-Ideas for further expansion into new services and products which will directly benefit our customers", says Jeff Wilde, founder.

Wilde-Ideas Grand Re-Opening will be held Friday & Saturday July 15th & 16th from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Special prices, food, beverages and door prizes will be available. A Drawing for the Ultimate Craft Kit ($300 retail value) will be held at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, July 16th. Winner need not be present, but must register at the store.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Jeff Wilde at 727.442.9323.
