Three questions with Susan Schmitt, owner of The Painted Cookie.
We are excited to announce we are expanding our current space to include a new shipping department and a bigger kitchen
- Susan Schmitt
Are you offering any new products or ways for customers to purchase your products or services that are popular during this crisis?
When COVID first arrived in Wilton we were blessed by two of our local churches who shopped sweet treats for first responders and our local grocery store employees. Easter we were supported by all our surrounding towns. Our local Girl Scouts and Schools celebrated their members and students with our Nut & Sesame Treats. And lots of local graduations celebrated with our treats.
Please share the ways your business is adapting to keep your customers and employees safe in addition to the standard guidelines
We were able to adapt very easily during the onset with ordering through our website for curbside pickup along with custom orders. Now that end of the school year "busy" season is over we are excited to announce we are expanding our current space to include a new shipping department and a bigger kitchen. This will give us 4 separate rooms to work in and keep our employees safe while distancing. While we are waiting for new equipment to arrive we will continue Curbside Pickup through the beginning or middle of August. Our retail area will be rearranged to include a large shielded checkout and all product will be showcased behind the checkout for customers to select what retail treats they would like to purchase. Custom orders can also be taken at the counter. We will be adding a gift wrapping station as well. All employees will have masks and gloves when assisting and checking out customers. We are excited to welcome you all into our new space in August!
