Store Closing Announcement 12-28-23
Note from Amy:
While we have a lot to celebrate this season…after 25 holidays, we have made the decision to close WaterMark Corners. We have made
this incredibly difficult and emotional decision as a family for many reasons, but primarily because it is time for our family to refocus our time, our energy and our efforts on our primary/parent business, Trimble Funeral Homes/CityView Celebrations/Veterans Funeral Care/Cremation Society of the Quad Cities.
With all of this in mind, we made the decision to close WaterMark to allow me to join my brother, Reid, at Trimble Pointe Companies as
COO/Director of Operations. My parents will both continue to have active roles in the company, but with greater flexibility in scheduling and hours.
Barb and I couldn’t feel more loved after all of the support we have received since our big announcement last week. The emails, the text messages, the stories of your WaterMark memories, the hugs…and the tears. Wow! This was such a hugely emotional decision for our family, and the outpouring of love has been beyond expectations. Our store was filled with more love last couple of weeks than ever before and we feel so blessed to have been a part of all of everyone’s lives these past 25 years.
Our Store Closing Sale is going on now and everything in the store is now marked down UP TO 75% OFF!
We are working with a retail consultant who is working with us on the closing sale process. While we can’t give an exact date for our last
day at this point – it all depends on how long our merchandise lasts – we anticipate our last day will be around the end of January or early/mid February.
In addition to merchandise, there are also lots of display pieces, props, furniture and fixtures on sale – with more being added every day!
Eventually everything must go!
If you love our STATIONERY, never fear! We are taking stationery orders (in store and through this website - see below!) through the end of January. Our plan is to continue to offer our personalized stationery as well as our exclusive Quad Cities gifts and personalized pet items through this website even after we close the store. There will be 6-8 weeks of transition where we won't be able to produce orders, but stay tuned! We hope to be back up and going online by sometime in April!
We are closing WaterMark on our terms and going out in true WaterMark style - with lots of fun and laughter!
THE CORNER BAR is fully stocked with amazing wines & spirits (all hand-picked by me!) and we are continuing our HAPPY HOURS every Wed, Thurs & Sat 3-6pm and Fridays 4-8pm – all drinks are ½ price! We are truly celebrating our closing and hope everyone will join us during our final month in business.
With much love, Amy
