    Default Expanding...into a Container!

    We have been bursting at the seams in our current location for a couple of years.

    We were going to move to a new location in November of 2015, but the deal fell through, and 3 weeks later the building we were going to move into got hit by a tornado. In 10 seconds, over half that building was gone!

    So, still being in the same location, with not enough room, we purchased a shipping container, and have been outfitting it to move all our packaging into it.

    It is 40 feet long and 8 feet wide.

    We should be able to move all our packaging shelves and work counters into it within the next couple of weeks.

    Front door & window, that gets closed up at night by the container doors.





    A look down to the far end to a window and Air/Heat unit.




    A side view, with Marc working on getting the end wall finished up.

    A good example of when we are disappointed over an occurrence that it usually works out for our best interest. Glad you didn't get caught up in the tornado.

    No doubt in my mind, we were being looked out for. Definitely a blessing in disguise.

    Yep! Gets the job done, and keeps the costs/retail prices down.

    Glad that the expansion was needed. That means y'all will be in business for a long time. Waiting on spring to get the oil cooler/filter relocation for my TG.

    Expanding overhead is always a dangerous time for any business, but we've managed thus far. We started on a back porch, moved to a Quonset hut that was heated with a wood burning stove. Added a "2nd location" of a garage.

    Moved into a commercial suite of 1200 sq. ft. Added a shipping facility in Memphis, that started at 800 sq ft, and is now at 2000 sq ft.

    Expanded to a second suite in the commercial building, expanded to a third suite in the commercial building...and that's it, no more suites to expand into.
    So that is the reason for the expansion into the container out back of the building.

    Thank you! Everything is keyed to that...taking care of our Customers.


    Here's the latest on the new space-




    Electricity is in, (still waiting on a few lights to install), security system installed, internet is in. Insurance is done. Walkway is done. Shelves are starting to go in.

    Amber & Lisa, who do all the packaging, are super excited about their new, bigger, more organized space!

    Our newest goal...lol...and I think it is realistic, is that we will be fully moved in sometime next week.

    Yeah, not only is it more room, but with it finished out, it is really nice inside.
