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 originally planned a 2,500 square foot retail space, with 12,500 square feet of warehouse & office. But construction costs have really gotten out of control in the past few years. As we analyzed the cost to do that entire project we decided we just did not want to bite off quite that much. So we killed the retail space and kept the 12,500 office & warehouse.
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.
Susan
happy building to you!!!
so does this mean we'll have even more things to spend our money on since your building bigger?

Congrats!
Congrats Susan! How exciting for you guys. I hope the weather and contractors all behave so you hit your target date with little headaches.
Accepting paypal would be great for me too. I'd spend more money at your place if you did, but for now I'll settle for buying from your ebay auctions. I'm off to pay for my shorts now. Thanks!
