John Cronin loves socks, that&rsquo;s why he started <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks</a>. After ten years, John is ready to move beyond socks (don&rsquo;t worry, John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks is not going away). 
Now, John has started <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wahooo Market by John</a>. You can find his socks there, but so much more: Apparel, home goods, jewelry, snacks, and even dog treats. There are fabulous gifts, and everything is made by people with differing abilities or companies that employ them. 
As part of this new business, John has opened his first retail store in Huntington Village at 328A Main Street. In fact, the store is right around the corner from where John first housed <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks</a>. And the first thing you see when you walk into Wahooo Market by John is a giant wall of socks. You see hundreds of pairs of socks, an explosion of colors, patterns, and images. 
People love the wall of socks. They point out favorites. They show their kids. They come back with friends. They take pictures in front of the wall. It is fast becoming a destination location, a tourist spot. 
John loves his wall of socks and wants to give it a name. And he wants your help. 
<h2>Here are the Names So Far </h2>
We started with dozens of potential names and narrowed the list down to three: 
1.John's Wonderful Wall of Socks
2.John's WOW Wall of Socks
3.The Wahooo Wall
Do you have a better idea? We want to hear from you. 
<h2>Let Us Know the Name You Prefer </h2>
We want you to vote for your favorite. There are three easy ways to let us know what you think:
&bull;On Facebook: Add a comment to our post with your favorite. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19zivZNDZk/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Here&rsquo;s the link.</a>
&bull;In the store: Stop by 328A Main Street in Huntington Village and vote in person, right in front of the wall.
&bull;By email: Send your pick to <a href="mailto:support@wahooomarket.com?subject=I%20Want%20to%20Name%20the%20Wall" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">support@wahooomarket.com</a>.
Voting closes Friday, November 6. One lucky voter will win a pair of socks picked by John himself. We'll reveal the winning name at the wall on Monday, November 9, so stay tuned!
<h2>Come See the Wall for Yourself</h2>
We want <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wahooo Market by John</a> to be the happiest place in Huntington, and a stop on every visitor's list. Come see the wall, vote in person, snap a photo, and meet John and our Sock Wranglers.
Wahooo Market by John 328A Main Street, Huntington Village, NY 11743 Mon&ndash;Thu 11am&ndash;4pm &middot; Fri&ndash;Sat 11am&ndash;5pm &middot; Sun 11am&ndash;4pm
If you cannot make it to Long Island, visit us online at <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">WahoooMarket.com</a>. 
We can't wait to see your vote. WAHOOO!
