So Why Did We Move?
Now that we are moved in and people are coming to see us at our new location, everybody wants to know, after 9 years why did we decide to move? Well, back in June 18, 2012 we had a small fire in the utility room of our old location. Luckily the Ostemo fire department responded quickly, and the damage was very minimal, but with it being in the utility room it did take out the electric, heat and plumbing. After many reassurances from the owner of the building that repairs would be quickly made, we decided to stay and reopen after the repairs were made. At 8 months after the fire, and we still had no electric in most of our building we decided we would have to move. We really hated to move from a location that we had invested so much time and love in to, but its pretty impossible to run a business without electric! Seeing that it looks like repairs are still going on as of today (yep the fire was 417 days ago!) I think we made the correct decision to move.
Our old location 14 months after the fire, with repairs still going on.
Now we are close to downtown (something we wanted 10 years ago) and have more space, at a lower cost, so we are even happier with the move. What is coming in the next year? The owner of the building will be opening a coffee shop in the front and a custom order furniture store on the lower level. Our new location is getting more amazing every day. We look forward to having you stop by and letting us show you around.
