My friends and I who have Christmas Tree Shops close to us in NJ [and homes in TV] email their customer service and that of Bed, Bath and Beyond [since they are CTS' corp owner] requesting that they open a store in TV. Since BBB has distribution facilities for their area stores, there must be a way to expand that for a CTS store or two.

The other tactic we employ is to provide our Florida zip code when asked to provide same when shopping at other CTS stores. Knowing the location of their customers also helps them to pinpoint areas for future development.

In the mean time, when we are in Florida we often take a trip or two down to Orlando...and when we are there we stop in the Old Time Pottery store...it is similar to but not matching in merchandise to what is offered in CTS...http://www.oldtimepottery.com/
