Citrus Sales

The 2009-2010 Fruit Sale season is winding down.  Our final sale of the season is scheduled for March 26th and 27th.  The varieties available for this final sale are Valencia oranges, pink grapefruit, and Florida tangerines.  Prices for all varieties for the March sale (pre-order price and "off-the-truck" price) are shown below.

New Primary Location for Fruit Sale:  Advance Auto Parts on South Memorial Parkway, the long-time location for our main sale site, is moving in December.  While they are not moving far, their new location is not very conducive for us to conduct our sale, so we are moving to a new location just a little bit further south on the Parkway:

Kangaroo Express
11040 Memorial Parkway SW
(intersection of Mountain Gap Rd. and Memorial Parkway)

*Note:  To receive pre-order pricing, your pre-order MUST be received by the deadlines shown below.

Once again, we are offering an online pre-order website that will not only allow you the convenience of using a credit card for your purchase, but will also provide for you the assurance that your pre-order will be ready and waiting for you to pick up at your convenience on the weekend of the sale.  If you don't want to order online, you can download the pre-order form and send it, with your check (made out to Grissom Band Parents Association), to the address on the form.  Another benefit to pre-ordering is you get a discount off of what the "off-the-truck" price will be on the weekend of the sale.  That discount is already reflected in the prices shown both on the online pre-order website and on the downloadable pre-order form.  Note: Orders placed online through the pre-order website are charged a $1 credit card fee by the company PER ORDER.

Fruit size on pre-orders: The online pre-order website doesn't accommodate requests for a certain size fruit.  If you would like to request a certain size fruit (small, medium, or large), notify us in one of the following ways:

  • Put that request in the Comments section of the Checkout page on the online pre-order site, or

  • Send that request in an e-mail to fruitsales@grissomband.org, or

  • If you are printing out the pre-order form and mailing it in, just note that request on the pre-order form.

Please be aware that we have no control over the size of fruit that is delivered to us and, while we will make every effort to meet your fruit size requests, there is no guarantee that we will be able to match EVERY request exactly.  We will certainly do our best!

Pre-order pick-up location: Unless otherwise noted, your pre-order will be kept at the Kangaroo Express location throughout the weekend.  If you would like to pick up your pre-order at the alternate site near Grissom on Saturday, notify us in one of the following ways:

  • Put that request in the Comments section of the Checkout page on the online pre-order site, or

  • Send that request in an e-mail to fruitsales@grissomband.org, or

  • If you are printing out the pre-order form and mailing it in, just note that request on the pre-order form.

E-mail list: We have established an e-mail database to be used for pre-order deadline notification, fruit availability updates, and other fruit sale info that needs to be distributed to our customers.  If you would like to be put on this list, just send us an e-mail to fruitsales@grissomband.org and let us know.  You can just put "Fruit Sale E-mail List Subscribe" in the subject line and that will do it!
