Store Opening minus 3 weeks – Give or Take

It’s been a busy few months. After the harrowing move in the snow, the fun began.

Warehouse went from a huge mess to this in about 2 weeks:

Warehouse, still messy but things are more or less in place.

and how amazing how fast over 6,000 sq ft of warehouse space can fill up. We shopped a lot in January!

Once everything was more or less back to normal, the fun stuff began. Getting the store done. It’s a big space, over 4,000 sq ft. And we had been buying props and stuff for the past 4 months. It seemed like a lot at the time, but amazingly it was swallowed up by the space in no time.

Slowly things began to move into place

The signs outside are progressing – still one part missing but it’s coming!

Even the warehouse is showing signs of progress

Trying to decide where to put things was a challenge. Shopping the warehouse for the items to display is fun but can be a touch overwhelming – we have over 8,000 items there.

Just before we go to Texas, there are real signs that this is going to be a cool store!

We hope it’s all going to be ready and done by April 15 – and we can throw the doors open and welcome everyone!
