Throwback to that time when 11 pallets showed up, unannounced… oh wait that was yesterday! 🤪🎄📦
It didn’t seem possible when the trucks were literally lined up waiting to deliver first thing in the morning, but thanks to our ah-mazingggg team & one very special (& veryyy strong) honorary Amato’s Elf who came to the rescue, we pulled off the impossible: everyyyy single box on all ELEVEN surprise pallets are already checked in & brought down to the warehouse—it was a record-breaking whirlwind of a day to say the least… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a wild way to kickoff the first weekend of the holiday season!! 🤩🫶🏻🎄

Woohoo! So happy to see you are open on Mondays! Thank you! I always take work off the week of Thanksgiving when my kids are still in school to get my Christmas shopping done, so I am so happy you’ll be open on Monday! Just FYI, your website says open 7 days a week, but then says Tues-Sat, and Sun only.
