New Shop - Progress Report

I never thought it would take this long to set up new store but so far, I am pleased with the results. The space is small but with a bit of creative thinking, I was able to make this work. With less than a week until our grand opening, I still have a lot of work to do but confident that it will all get done in time. In case you are wondering, we open the doors on Saturday, November 29th (12pm-5pm) and the official grand opening celebration is on Sunday, November 30th (12pm-5pm). More details to follow. In the meantime, here are some photos showing the progress:

Thanks to Talic's kayak racks, we will be able to squeeze 22-23 kayaks in a small 720 square foot space!



And, thanks to gridwall, we are also able to showcase most of our accessories on one wall.



I hope to see you this weekend!

We're Moving!

You may have heard this through the grapevine or maybe you read my teasers in a couple of recent posts but we are finally moving! The new space is located on highway 183 (Research Blvd.) near the 620/183 intersection. The address is 13686 N Highway 183 #104. Here is a map to the exact location:

We've been hard at work setting up the shop and expect to have a grand opening on Sunday, November 30th. With this new location, we'll actually have semi-regular hours through the winter and regular hours in spring. The new space is small but it will mostly serve as our showroom while we plan to keep excess inventory in our warehouse space on Pond Springs Rd. My focus with this new space is your convenience and comfort and I think you will agree.

Here is a sneak peek at the work in progress:

Stay tuned for details on our grand opening party!

Almost Moving on Up

It's been a great year and we are finally making arrangements to move our shop to a location that is not only more accessible but better fit for expansion. I have spent the last four months scouring the town for a space and let me tell you, it's not easy. It is either too expensive, difficult for trucks to back up into or in a location that is just not fit for my inventory (we need high ceilings). However, we are close. Our main goal is to stay within the 620/183 area but based on our customer's feedback feel that we can now expand our options. We have about 2-3 locations in mind but have yet to make a final decision...stay tuned!

On a similar note, we are expecting to open shop before the end of the year and with that comes a huge grand opening party. Be sure to sign up for our mailing list to stay informed. We'll be serving good food, giving away prizes, Native reps will be in attendance for questions and will be holding a couple of seminars on kayak fishing. In addition, we will have HUGE discounts on everything in stock...just in time for Christmas!

Yes, per popular demand, we will have set hours TBD.

Yeah baby!!!
