The most dramatic difference between a Lori’s gift shop and a traditional gift shop is our dynamic merchandise selection. Because of Lori’s large store base of over 200 stores, our corporate buyers know what items are the most popular and are quick to spot emerging trends. We update the assortment frequently so that hospital employees, guests and volunteers are treated to an exciting gift shop experience at every visit.
Our buyers work with over 300 vendors to choose the perfect merchandise for each one of our gift shops based on its customer demographics. A sophisticated store point-of-sale system tracks best-sellers and incorporates auto replenishment functions so the store is consistently in-stock on key products.
Hospital employees make approximately 75% of all gift shop purchases. We enhance employee satisfaction and ensure their repeat business with a constantly changing merchandise mix that includes a variety of tempting gifts, home décor accents, and women’s clothing and accessories. Hospitial visitors and patients also appreciate our assortment of Hallmark cards, fresh flowers, balloons and personal care products. Top this off with exciting special purchases at tremendous values, and you'll have a shop that is always buzzing with activity.
