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.

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!Dar

Just 2 miles away. Take Cornelius Pass North to West Union. Left on West Union (where the Sweet Oregon Grill was before it burned down). Then an immediate left on Mauzey Rd. Mauzey is a deadend. We're on the left. Originally Posted by oxysback

I love the directions they sound like the ones we give around here. "the big 2 story on the corner that used to be yellow before they added the veranda when Mr Jones died and his son bought it"
couldn't resist
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
