Big Day at Team Estrogen!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Today is a really big day here at TE. As some of you know, we are constructing a brand new building to house TE. We are busting out at the seams here in our current warehouse. Our new digs will be much larger. Well, today, they raised the walls (it's a concrete tilt-up building). Here's a couple of photos of the work in progress.
We're VERY excited, and expect to move in January 15th.

Terrific news! Will there be a retail area as well or are you continuing to be web-only sales?

Well, sort of a happy medium. We'll have a "will call" option for local customers who want to place their orders on line, then come in to pick up the next day.

We do get alot of requests from local customers for a store. But truthfully, we could never have everything in a store that we have online, just a fraction, as floor space would always be limited. So I can't say whether we will ever go that route or not. Maybe some day.

Congratulations on the new building.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

More stuff to spend money on?
Sweet!
It sure would be great if you'd take paypal. I'd like to stop using my charge card....
