Adapting to a New Way of Work

October 9, 2020 by GirlAGain Leave a Comment

Girl AGain trainee Alex

Girl AGain trainee Alex just received a Manager’s note!  This is her first note for in-store work from home.  Working from home has meant rethinking all of our typical tasks in a way that allows for the trainees to learn important job skills and also prepare merchandise for the Girl AGain boutique which is currently open to the public. This might seem pretty straight forward however it has been anything but.

Zoom, a new way of life

Zoom calls are definitely not anyone’s favorite form of communication but we are thankful this platform exists so that we are able to continue from home.  Some of the important tasks the Girl AGain trainees continue to work on are:

  •      Researching merchandise so that we can let our customers know the name and detail for American Girl items found at the boutique
  •      Pricing research, so that we can provide the best options for our customers
  •      Photographing and writing descriptions for online merchandise so that we can provide more shopping options
  •      Displaying merchandise to be ready for sale when brought back to the boutique.  While this seems like it would be the easiest task, it has taken some getting used to especially as we want to keep items as neat and clean as possible.

COVID-19 has created a new way of work for many, including all the Girl AGain trainees, and we would like to take a moment to recognize the efforts on everyone’s part.  Keep up the good work everyone and a big bravo to the Girl AGain trainees for adapting to this new process!  Yes She Can!

Our Store

American Girl Store Girl AGain opened in February 2014 to rave reviews from American Girl doll fans, their moms and especially their grandmas. You’ll find authentic gently used AG dolls, clothing, furniture, accessories and books that have been cleaned and prepared for sale at good prices in an easy-access store.

We also host in-store events such as American Girl book author readings, tea parties, and craft activities. Our most popular event is Girl AGain Doll Hair Do’s & Don’ts Workshop. Check here often to see what is scheduled.

You’ll find a selection of dolls: the original dolls from the historical periods as well as My American Girl, Bitty Baby and Bitty Twins. We have new and used outfits for all AG dolls, as well as their furniture and accessories. Our merchandise changes daily.

You’ll also find a great selection of new and used American Girl books. You don’t have to be a doll lover to enjoy the advice books like The Care and Keeping of You, and A Smart Girl’s Guide to Money.

Girl AGain is not affiliated with American Girl(r) company.

Yes She Can!

Did you know that 80% of adults with autism are unemployed? We created our boutique specifically to help develop transferable job skills for young women with autism. Our trainees at Girl AGain sort, clean and prepare the merchandise, price it, and display it in our shop. Our trainees learn about marketing, merchandising, retailing, customer service, and inventory acquisition in addition to appropriate workplace behavior, research, collaboration and decision-making. We have staff who manage our accounting (Quick Books) and our website (WordPress).

Our customers learn about the abilities of people with autism. And hopefully, our youngest shoppers learn about acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities.
