@HaleyReinhart THEY ADDED "NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE" TO THE PLAYLIST TO MY WORK IN CANADA AND OUR CHAIN HAS 207 STORES SO ITS SPREADING!

In an earlier tweet, he posted a picture of his new work uniform. The logo was tiny and blurry, but after some sleuthing around I've concluded he works for Giant Tiger.

http://www.gianttiger.com/gt/

They've been around since 1961 and have an unusual franchising method wherein the store manager owns the store. "The company charges franchisees $1 up front plus a percentage of annual sales." Giant Tiger is the largest Canadian-owned discount retailer. Annual sales first surpassed $1 billion in 2005.

Cool Beans! I wonder if Haley pre-planned all the ways that her lyrics could find their way into mainstream businesses? "Hit the Gorund Running" for ESPN Football, "Now That You're Here" for shopping in a store, "Undone" for choreography/Dance studios, "Oh My" for TV shows, "Lets Run Away" for wedding planners...

I think all Haley set out to do was create catchy tunes with relatively clean lyrics that hit on universal themes. She's probably been surprised at some of their uses thus far.

Ole is based in Canada. I think we're seeing the influence they have locally.

OH MY GOD THEYRE PLAYING FREE IN MICHAELS @haleyreinhart

Quote:Gabrielle Roberts ♥ ‏@HaleysHart

@HaleyReinhart omg Haley, free started playing in my mall food court on the tv's and I freaked out and started squeaking and jumping.

^^ That last tweet makes it sound like they're still promoting Haley through Akoo.

It's funny... They play Haley's music in Michael's, at the music store, at the movie theatre, Home Goods and Bed Bath Beyond. Why can't we get it on the radio ??? That's how she'll get the recognition.
