2011- THE STATS
As mentioned at the start of the article, 2011 has come and gone and as a business owner, this means that it is time to analyze the statistics. Below are a few “Top 5” lists from the year;
2011 was an exciting year for us at Crossover. We were able to go from nearly 1000 movies to well over 4000. We were able to fill our arcade and vending area with games that many haven’t seen since their childhood. We were also able to grow our membership number to almost 1300 members from towns including Marathon, Pic River, Pic Mobert, Manitouwadge, Terrace Bay, Rossport and more. We would not have been able to do any of this without the support of our customers. On behalf of all of us at Crossover- THANK YOU! Your support allows us to continue to grow and expand our services to better serve you! We look forward to your continued patronage throughout 2012!
Have a safe week and don’t forget to support your local businesses
