Rand’s: A great place to shop, workBy SuburbanChicagoNews.com

Rand’s Hallmark, celebrating 25 years in business, has been a part of remembering life’s special moments with Hallmark cards and gift items since the store opened its doors. Area shoppers have long known Rand’s Hallmark stores as the place to find those unique gift items or home decorator accents, as well as greeting cards and other quality Hallmark products. Rand’s stores have been conveniently located in many neighborhoods, making shopping convenient for customers.

But as much as shoppers love Rand’s, it is also Rand’s employees who love working there. The store is proud of its commitment to its communities, and the respect Rand’s has for its staff and customers alike.

“Our staff loves Hallmark just as much as our customers do,” says owners Gary Watland and Val and Bobbie Rand. “We love helping our customers express themselves through our cards and gifts.”

“We are an occasion driven business,” says Watland.

“Customers come to us because they have celebration or occasions-from birth to death-that they want to commemorate and remember. Whether the occasion calls for a card or a gift, our stores carry a wide range of both appropriate and unique items. Our friendly sales associates are always willing to offer suggestions or to direct you to the right area in our large and well-stocked stores.”
