The Christmas Factory in Marshall's Creek, PA

The Christmas Factory in Marshall's Creek, PA knows how to bring the customers in. Residents and visitors alike flock to the store year round for everything Christmas, as well as many other delights. What many people that have never visited the store might not realize is that they have many other non Christmas related products as well.

Owner, Kurt Clausen knows what sells. His store has been going strong at its current location for 16 years now. The store itself has been in business for about 20 years. Clausen said "We started out selling souvenirs due to the tourism boom. We eventually realized that there was a real need to provide specialty Christmas products in this area, and changed the focus to that direction. We continue to work year-round on finding the most unique and exciting products at exceptional prices with an emphasis on utility. Rather than just a typical knick-knack, we provide items that are useful in some way. For example, a condiment spreader set disguised as a black bear on a tree. Each branch pulls out to become an individual spreader. Christmas is an exciting time, and it is great to be able to re-create the feeling of warmth and nostalgia all year long."

Manager, Jennifer O'Hay has worked at the store since it opened its doors 16 years ago. She has been the store manager for about seven years. "Ornaments are our biggest seller. We have over 60 decorated theme trees and a wall of ornaments that can be personalized" O'Hay said. The themed Christmas trees are on display all year round. When entering the store, the festive Christmas feel is apparent. The smell of Christmas is certainly in the air. O'Hay credits the store's success because of the residents. "The residents are the reason we are open." O'Hay continues.
