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.

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.

We've seen some vids of that!
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!
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.

Congrats, Kevin! We need pics when you are all done!
It is what it is.

Should have most everything moved in by Tuesday. Still waiting on a few bins we have ordered...AND the LED lights are still somewhere in transit. But it's Close!

Congratulations on the expansion, amazing what you can do with containers. My son-in-law is putting 2 containers together for a deer hunting camp. Good luck and Ride Safe.

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

This is what it looks like today. Almost 1000 SKU's/Containers on the shelves. Still have a bit more to go before completed, but Amber and Lisa started packaging in it today.

I have a neighbor that did something like that to use as a paint shop. I hope you have AC for those hot summer days....and naturally heat for the long winter days............This is what it looks like today. Almost 1000 SKU's/Containers on the shelves. Still have a bit more to go before completed, but Amber and Lisa started packaging in it today.
