Retail Store
Pigeon Forge, TN |
Christmas Place is
part of a family owned business that was founded by Hurshel and Marian
Biggs in 1986. No visit to Pigeon Forge is complete without a visit
here! Nestled in a Bavarian-style shopping village, what began as a
small gift store in the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge, has grown to a complex
of over 43,000 square feet of wall-to-wall Christmas!
Through the years,
Christmas Place has
received countless awards for everything from its merchandising and
decorating to its growth and consistent performance as one of the top
ten Christmas and Collectible stores in the United States. It has also
served as the setting for countless television specials and magazine
features.
Devoted to Department 56 and its wide variety of products, in 2011,
Christmas Place was honored to have the early
release of the Dickens Village piece “The Partridge and Pear”
which was inspired by its own unique restaurant that was formerly
located there. This year, it is one of several Department 56 retailers
that will also have an exclusive “Snowman Welcome Sign.” Both
pieces are presently available to order on line.

In 1976 we started like most entrepreneurs with a dream to fulfill the people’s wishes, hopes and fantasies in their shopping experiences.
As a small Gift Shop and Florist in our current location, we built a 3000 square foot building and a large 40’ by 95’ Greenhouse and Cactus House 16’ x 24’.
For three years the Florist and Gift shop kept expanding, the gift shop more than doubled each year, until we knew that we needed to expand to the nearby mall.
In the spring of 1979 Robert Moore an Company, Inc. opened in Springdale Mall, our 1600 square feet was packed and RM&C quickly became a favorite place to shop and checkout the collections.
In the fall of 1979 Larry Heard joined the staff of RM&C as a salesclerk.
It was clear that at our current growth we would need to expand again and at his point we wanted to open the year round Christmas Shoppe. We decide that our old location was the perfect
spot to open this new adventure, the building was perfect in size and many customers knew of the location, so in the fall of 1980 Robert Moore and Co. Christmas Town was open, and BOY
was it big. Hundreds and thousands of customers came to see the spectacular venues and products we would offer. Robert Moore and Co. Christmas Town was a hit!
In the spring of 1981 our lease up at the mall so we built a 1600 sq ft addition to house the Christmas Shop and moved the Gift and Collectible shop back to our current location.
The fall of 1981 proved that we needed more space. Plans were drawn up and construction began in the spring of 1983 on the 8500 sq ft addition and our new entrance. In the fall of 1984
we opened the doors to our multi-level extravaganza, “Christmas Town”. Ever expanding needs were always in the works as our growth was always on the move. In the fall of 1985
we started the plans for the final expansion of 12500 sq ft warehouse and 2500 st ft display space which opened in the summer of 1986. Now our 18 acre, 35000+ square foot building and
out buildings are complete.
Now we can focus on the merchandise blend which was ever expanding, new lines and exciting lines expanding. Inventories grew and pricing came down as our purchases increased.
In the fall of 1976 our inventory was around $100,000.00; in the fall of 1999 our inventory was over $5,000,000.00 and growing.
Through the years Robert Moore and Company Christmas Town has seen growth every year and in 2003 we launched our first website. We were blown away with the customers’
orders and positive comments. robertmoorechristmastown.com grew to over 7,000 items online and stocked by us in-house.

New Carlisle, IN |
Fresh out of high school, William R. Sutton, President and Proprietor of The Village Shoppes, Inc.,
started a homemade candle and furniture shop out of his parent's garage, all while attending college. Within a short time, Bill's family bought
a vacant store in their historic hometown of New Carlisle, Indiana and, on October 1, 1975, The Village Florist was opened by the Sutton's.
The store featured fresh flowers, gifts, and home accessories. It didn't take long before The Village Florist expanded upstairs and also into an adjacent building.
In 1995, when a large building across the street became available, The Collection was opened, expanding the business into the areas of furniture and even more home decor.
In 1999, when Watson's Collectibles closed, The Village Florist acquired and restored their buildings and became The Village Shoppes, Inc.
This expansion brought the business to 27,000 square feet of display, hosting numerous lines of home furnishings, collectibles, fashion accessories, and gourmet cuisine.
Bill continues to proudly serve the area with the largest gift, collectible, and home furnishing store of its kind.
The customers who frequented his candle shop all those years ago in his parent's garage continue to be some of his most loyal customers today.
Although there have been many challenges along the way, The Village Shoppes is still a locally-owned, family business and Bill is grateful for his
faithful customers who inspired him to create this unique and memorable shopping destination.

My name is Stephanie
Stuart, I love sculpting village display platforms for all seasons! I often make them from reclaimed materials so you can easily create beautiful scenes for your village collection that is eco-friendly. I sometimes get a little help from my kiddos in the studio as they desire as well. You can see the items they offer in the shop! Give your beloved village the attention it deserves this year and lift up your village to a new level!
• Easy to create beautiful village scenes and a more interesting focal point instantly with multiple levels
• Hand-Sculpted by me from durable industrial-grade foam that will last a lifetime. This is not construction foam found in hardware stores!
• Lightweight for easy storage, setup, and stacking
• Environmentally responsible because I often sculpt from reclaimed materials
Remember buying from my shop helps me get my little girl into ballet
lessons, my son's electronic experiments. You're supporting me a US
veteran and feeding my family. Thank you so much for that! Drop me a
line for your suggestions and custom work requests! I'd love to hear
from you!

Miniatures
Conway,
AR
|
Village Realty & Landscaping is a wonderful business specializing in providing those special miniatures that make displays come to life, and Pattie Murphy is the proprietor of that business! She was a regular at may of the earlier Gatherings (most recently making a very welcomed reappearance at the 2018 Sweet Home Chicago Gathering) and is great at demonstrating how to bring life to village settings by adding miniatures that she personally hand-picks and manufactures, plus other items readily available to the village collector. Pattie’s displaying expertise provided helpful as a judge at several gatherings including the elite Bachman’s Gatherings. She has also conducted several standing-room only seminars. Pattie travels to many markets, conferences and tradeshows specializing in miniatures in order to bring the latest and greatest miniatures to accessorize retired, current and newly released village pieces.
Pattie doesn’t just operate a village related business; she is an avid collector of several villages and long time member of the Arkansas Villagers. Her passion for miniatures is only rivaled by her passion for collecting village.
