Freedom Kilts is moving

**The Wizard of BC** · 30th June 06, 07:26 PM

We got the official word this morning. The building we have the shop in has been sold and we have 30 days to vacate.
The good news is that we have been working for over four months to find a new shop because we would like to expand the company by a minimum of 30% this year and we have already outgrown the current space.
The really good news is that we have found a shop right across the street! Of course this means my morning commute has increased from 244 steps to 256 steps from my house.
The new shop is twice as big. Has ample room for the four sewing stations, each with it's own lay-out and ironing tables.
We will be having to scramble to get the new location repaired, re-wired, and painted and yet not have to shut-down the production.
The new shop will even have enough room to set-up an actual retail showroom.
Wish me luck guys, this is a big step for us and I'm scared to death.

Good luck on the move and new location. Any chance of a free kilt in exchange for helping with the move?

Best of luck Steve I'm sure you'll make the most of this new opportunity.

Wow, I had never actually looked at the Freedom Kilts site. I'm impressed. I really like the "Dress Model" seeing as I like the more traditional kilts...

Allow plenty of time for that extra long commute. CONGRATULATIONS Steve on your sudden but anticipated growth!

You'll do just fine with the new location Steve. Keep up the great work.

Maybe now you can go by a Starbucks on the way to work.

Congratulations on the impending expansion, Steve. I'm sure you will have a showroom which will rival other kiltmakers. If I was in your area, I'd volunteer my pickup to help you with the move.

To bad I live way down in the Southeastern US-> other side of the continent. I'd be glad to help, but the airfare would kill ya.

I hope you the best on your new premises.

Best regards,

Retail space, maybe I'll have to stop by via the Clipper out of Seattle come November. Better include a map on the website so's your customers don't turn left instead or right (or vice versa)

.
Good luck on that Steve.

CT - maybe the new location will be favorable to my e-mail ....
