What is Wendy's Gnome Shop?
Hailed as symbols of good luck and protection, gnomes are a permanent fixture in most people's gardens or barns. You may have heard about how gnomes help protect and guard buried treasures, and if you're looking to add a whimsical guard to your treasures, or to spruce up your Christmas tree by adding a gnome to it, then Wendy's Gnome Shop has got you covered. At Wendy's Gnome Shop you can get your very own gnome to protect and guard your house.
The brand's website describes their products as, "Gnomes are known for good luck and prosperity. Sure to bring a smile to your face! They have a soft, fluffy beard. Each gnome is assembled by hand in the USA at Wendy's Gnome Shop." They also warn the customers that their gnomes are for decorative purposes only and are not toys.
Who is the founder?
Wendy Hoffmeister is the founder of Wendy's Gnome Shop. "I am a labor and delivery nurse turned Gnomemaker. About two years ago I started making Gnomes as a hobby because I thought they were cute. This year has been a whirlwind. My Gnomes are in every state in United States and numerous other countries. I really enjoy designing them and hearing about the joy they bring to my customers. The Design-A-Gnome idea is my passion. I want my customers to express their creativity and design their own gnome to suit any event in their life. I want to make their vision into a finished product that makes them smile," she explains on her website.
What is the cost and where to buy the gnomes from?
You can get your very own gnome for between $30 to $35, based on the design and the model of gnome chosen. You can place an order for the gnome either from the brand's website here or on Etsy. Wendy's gnomes have received several rave reviews. A customer wrote, "Our gnome is too adorable! Great quality, made well, shipped fast. Definitely recommended and will be ordering again! Thank you so much!" Another customer shared, "Great quality! Looks adorable on top of my tree! You can order different styles like one that stands on its own or a cone base to top a tree. I got the tree topper and I am obsessed with it!"
Where is Wendy's Gnome Shop now?
Wendy's Gnome Shop appears to be doing well. The brand is currently running a 15% discount sale as part of 'Shark Tank' special.
Who will steal the deal?
Kevin O'Leary or Lori Greiner might steal this deal. Although the brand's sales numbers and profit margins will ultimately be the major deciding factor for the sharks on whether to invest in the business or not. So, we will just have to wait and watch to see if the Sharks even make a deal.
