February 2008

This month at Metropawlis:

Darn, it's cold outside.  We know you'd rather stay warm in your home, but we're hoping you might be enticed to visit the Third Ward soon.  We have several events (including one this weekend) and some VIP specials that might make a trip worthwhile. 

February Events

Third Ward Indoor Sidewalk Sale. Join Metropawlis and other Third Ward merchants for our Winter Indoor Sidewalk Sale this Saturday, January 26th! Find great deals on all kinds of merchandise – both new and clearance. We will offer an additional 10% off of clearance products, bringing your savings to 60% OFF!

Free Valentine Photo Keepsakes. Come in for a complimentary photo of your pet set in a heart-shaped frame or mousepad on Saturday, 2/2 and 2/9. Photos will be taken in the store from Noon to 2 pm. Supplies are limited – pics will be taken on a first come, first served basis.

Fromm Food Demonstration. Rachel from Fromm Foods will be here on Saturday, February 16th from 11 am to 1 pm with information and food samples from locally-owned Fromm Family Pet Foods. With Fromm you’re assured of the best quality and have the peace of mind buying local!  Visit with the rep to get free samples for your pet to try!

Anthropologie Opens

After months of construction, no one is happier to see Anthropologie open than we at Metropawlis.  (For months we had to put up with a closed sidewalk and construction dust, so we're really happy they're open.)   The store is right next door to our own and is huge!  You'll find an attractive shopping environment full of women’s clothing, accessories and home décor.  Be among the first to check it out, and don't forget to stroll around the Ward for other women's boutiques such as Lela, divna, and Three Graces.

VIP Savings for the Month  

This month we’re once again offering a great deal on select products. Receive 50% OFF all stationary products including scrapbooking supplies, single greeting cards, card sets, craft kits, 3-D cat and dog playing cards and pet memory books. (Discount does not apply to stationary items on clearance; in-store only.) Please advise us that you’re a VIP at checkout to ensure your 50% discount.
 

Hot New Products for Your Pet

Now that the winter is half over it’s time to spruce up your pet! Our focus this month is on grooming and bath products. From shampoos to brushes, we have a great selection. Our new products this month include:

  • chenille bathrobes – perfect for after bath chill;
  • Organic shampoos and aromatherapy sprays; and
  • Wooden two-sided brushes for that finishing touch!

And, after all that grooming, your pet will need a new collar to show off their squeaky clean coat! It’s a great time to think about replacing your pet’s old, worn out collar with a new quick snap collar in this season’s latest patterns!

Your favorite feline also deserves something new and will appreciate a new matching harness and leash set! If kitty has cabin fever it’s good to take them out to catch some fresh air – even just for a few minutes. 

Love is in the air -- show your pet you love them with a cute heart sweater, heart collar, heart pajamas, heart catnip toy or a freshly baked Valentine’s themed treat from Three Amigos Dog Bakery!

Getting through the Marquette Interchange & Parking

Marquette InterchangeGetting to the Third Ward may seem difficult because of the Marquette Interchange Project, but it isn't!  Driving to Metropawlis from the north, south, or west is still very easy.  Click the icon at the right to receive up-to-date driving directions!

And parking nearby is plentiful!  Here's a tip:  Many folks stick to Water and Broadway Streets when seeking parking, but there's a lot more parking to be found just a block or two to the east, on Milwaukee and Jefferson Streets.  There are also three lots and structures within a couple blocks:

  • Milwaukee Public Market Lot: The entrance to the parking lot behind the MPM is off of Water Street, between St. Paul and Clybourn. You can park free for the first hour (with MPM purchase)six days a week, and parking is free in this lot all day on Sundays.
  • Parking Garages: The Third Ward has two large parking garages available for visitors. These can be found on the northeast corner of Milwaukee & Chicago Streets (212 N. Milwaukee St.) and the southeast corner of Water & Chicago Streets (225 E. Chicago St.

Is This Month Your Pet's Birthday?

In the month of your pet's birthday you can visit our Third Ward store, and your pet will receive a free complimentary birthday treat as well as a 25% discount on all purchases made during that visit (excluding bakery treats, clearance items and pet strollers).  To enjoy these special birthday benefits, your pet must be signed up in our database.  If he or she isn't a VIP with Metropawlis yet, simply let us know your pet's name and birthday when you visit the store or by email at PetLover@Metropawlis.com
