Valentines Winner

By dianahellismedia • February 18, 2024
Annual Valentine's Day Mattress Winner! We delivered Bailey's brand-new Immunity Queen Size Mattress Set valued at $2,999. She was the lucky winner of our annual Valentine's Day giveaway. "I'm very grateful that they can do this yearly," said Bailey. "It gives people a chance to do something for themselves. Like most parents, I put things on the back-burner if it doesn't involve my kids." Winning the mattress was just what she needed. The past few years have been challenging. "In late 2022, I left a really bad relationship. The majority of my belongings were tossed out or destroyed." Due to a work-related injury, Bailey's been out of work for over a year. After three surgeries, the doctors are unsure if she can return to her position as a medical assistant. "When I saw 16 Cents' Facebook post about the contest, I thought it could be an amazing opportunity to get a new bed," said Bailey. "I needed one but didn't have the funds for it. All our extra money goes straight to the kids." Bailey has been sleeping on an old mattress purchased several years ago and is looking forward to sleeping on the new one. "It was hard to believe we won until 16 Cents messaged me," said Bailey. "I'm looking forward to having a new mattress, let alone a whole new set. It's really special. I feel like this is going to be our year."

When 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks opened its THIRD store, the business started growing, and so did the stories. For the past five years on Memorial Day, Shaun Key has waved Old Glory at different locations in the area, however for the past two years; Shaun has stood at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks Division & Sharp location. And this year, more supporters.

"This is a day about remembering our troops, about our freedom, who gave their lives, sacrificed their lives for us so it's the least we can do for them,” Key said.

“We are honored to have Shaun and the others share their support throughout the day. We know Shaun was in the military, and we are blessed to have him and the others share their respect at this location. Our business was started by a story, so this becomes another story here, at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks” says Jason McSteen, Owner & Operator. “We have a lot of stories that come through our doors, and this is one that affects all of us. Memorial Day is a day to remember the brave soldiers who fought for our country. We thank Shaun and the others for coming to our location to help us all remember.”
