Cost Plus World Market Announces The Winners Of Its “Friends And Family Sweepstakes”
Oakland, Calif. (May 25, 2010)— Have you ever dreamed of basking in the romance of Paris and discovering Madrid’s character-filled neighborhoods? For one lucky grand prize winner, Cost Plus World Market, the specialty store which offers an ever-changing mix of furniture, home décor accessories, and gourmet food and wine from around the world, recently offered a chance to win a trip for two to Paris and Madrid through its “Friends and Family Sweepstakes” promotion.
That dream has come true for Northridge, Calif.-resident Kymberly Reveche, the grand prize winner of the “Friends and Family Sweepstakes.” A regular visitor of World Market, Kymberly said, “I have been shopping at Cost Plus stores and online to furnish and decorate our new house. Thank you Cost Plus!” Kymberly added, “I am so excited! I will be in the middle of just another ordinary day and then I’ll think about the trip and smile.”
Kymberly and a friend will be taking advantage of the expertise of the Intrepid Travel trip organizers who provided the “Friends and Family Sweepstakes” grand prize package of airfare for two, fourteen-night hotel accommodations, local transportation and exciting excursions. This adventure is packed with art, nature, culture and history. Kymberly and a friend will see the sparkling lights of Paris, visit the royal chateau at Villandry and hike amongst the peaks of the Pyrenees. Then, the two will cross the border into Spain and kick back on a sunny beach to recharge before a big night out. Finally, they will visit Madrid to discover a multitude of chic boutiques or lose themselves in the world-famous Prado and Reina-Sofia museums.
Five other lucky World Market shoppers are also winners. World Market awarded first prize winner Jeanne Wieland of New Philadelphia, Ohio, a $1,000 World Market gift card. Four second prize winners received a $500 World Market gift card: Linda Sonnier of Greenwell Springs, La.; Alcides Perez of Charlotte, N.C.; Robin Winograd of Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Courtney Vella of San Jose, Calif.
