It can be very rewarding to shop here at home in the Bahamas, and Furniture Plus is proving it each month during their 20th anniversary Shop 2 Hop promotion. The company is teaming up with Tourism Today, Bahamasair and Western Air, along with eight fabulous resorts in The Bahamas, to give away 16 trips for two all over The Bahamas archipelago for an estimated $40,000+ in prizes. With two months gone by, the Furniture Plus stores released photos of their first and second month dream vacation recipients. In Nassau, the February winner was Ginouse Dareus and March's prize went to Valencia Knowles. In Grand Bahama, Randy & Marnet Rolle won in February with Keshanna Wright winning in March. February winners won flights to Exuma with a three-night stay in the Four Seasons Exuma, one of the most exclusive resorts in The Bahamas, plus the bonus of winning the longest trip given for the promotion. March winners received flights to Andros Island, with stays at Emerald Palms for two nights each. This boutique resort on the island of South Andros recently gained international recognition in Destination Weddings and Honeymoons' spring 2009 issue.  GRAND BAHAMA'S SHOP 2 HOP EXUMA WINNERS!

Russell, Keen i Media) "I am so excited to have won," said Ms. Dareus. "My friends all shop at Furniture Plus and told me to go there. I bought a bedroom set for the first time in February and I have already won a trip! I am glad I listened to them." With 12 more island destination travel packages yet to be awarded, Furniture Plus is hoping to encourage more Bahamians to travel within their own country this summer or for family vacations. "It's at times like these that we as Bahamians should be looking to spend more time and money at home," noted Director of Sales & Marketing for Furniture Plus, Krystynia Lee d'Arville. "We can show our Bahamian spirit by supporting each other and visiting the beautiful islands we all know and love." This month (April) the Shop 2 Hop Bahamas promotion is offering a trip to Abaco Beach Resort in Marsh Harbour, Abaco with flights included. One of the best parts of this promotion is that entries can roll over, so if you did not win the last two prizes you can still win this one or the next five months too. So it's truly best to shop early for more chances.  KESHANNA WRIGHT IS EXCITED ABOUT HER ANDROS WIN! Noting that she can't wait to HOP to Andros, Grand Bahama winner Keshanna Wright is pictured with Chantell Robinson, Sales Manager of Furniture Plus Grand Bahama (left) and Scott Ferguson, General Manager of Furniture Plus Grand Bahama (right). As the March Shop 2 Hop Bahamas winner she received flights to Andros Island, with a stay for two at Emerald Palms for two nights.
