We're in!

We've been burning the midnight oil for the past month!!! For the past couple of weeks Nancy and I haven't gotten to bed before 2AM. Well we're finally in our new store. And it has turned out super!

Here's what we like about the new location...

It's in a really great location. Close to the interstate, close to Tampa, close to airports, close to our competitors, and close to Connections. The location couldn't be better.

The place is in a sharp looking business center. It's well kept and manicured. We love the exterior appearance.

We have a nice looking showroom that now displays several machines and chemicals.

We now have more office space than our previous location and the interior looks really cool.

The warehouse is larger and has high ceilings. And it's laid out so that shipping orders will be really nice for our staff!

We installed nice solution dyed nylon carpet and new ceramic tile.

We installed new furnishings and fixtures.

We installed cool signs and graphics.

We ground and polished the concrete floors in the warehouse (actually Dave's guys did that).

We repainted our pallet racks and gave all of our warehouse materials a redo.

We repainted inside and completely remodeled the restroom. We also gave the kitchen, and the conference room a facelift.

All in all, we have really tried to create a FUN environment for our staff and our customers!

It's been a lot of work (a crazy amount of work) putting this all together. But it has turned out even better than we expected. Looking at the finished project makes us feel satisfied about the investment of time, energy, and money. And we're so relieved to have pulled it off and be done with the project (even though we were down to the wire for our March 1st opening).

Whenever you're in the Tampa Bay area - please stop by! We'll do our best to make you feel welcome! And please try to come for our OPEN HOUSE celebration on Thursday May 14th during Connections - it's gonna be a lot of fun.

It sure will be nice to be in our new store and have all this craziness behind us. Nancy and I, as well as our whole staff, have basically worked around the clock for the past few weeks. But the end end justifies the means. The new home for our company will be a pleasure happy.gif happy.gif happy.gif




P.S. I'll post pictures soon.

Congratulations Rick.

When you spend a lot of time at work, it sure is nice to have a place you feel really good about.

Wish I was closer to Florida!
