Founded in 1976, St. Nicks Christmas Store was the idea of Shawn Sealy, who loves Christmas and wanted a store that would bring the holiday to life every day of the year. The company is open all except for the first six weeks of the year. This gives employees time to overhaul the theme rooms, restock, and redecorate.
St. Nicks Christmas Store receives approximately 80 percent of its business between Halloween and New Years. Even in July and August, however, Sealy, who continues to be the sole owner of the company, receives about 80 visitors a day. Chris Davis is the visual designer for the more than 100 themed Christmas trees and 22 rooms.
The company has considered expansion plans, although no set date has been scheduled for this.
