    The only thing that would slow me down if that would happen is the traffic on 405.

    Thanks guys...Progress is being made. Shelves were installed on Tuesday, the phone line was installed Wednesday and the alarm system was installed yesterday. It is getting there but, there is still a lot of work to do.

    Does this mean you will not have a "Bullgoose Office" at the Postal Facility (no more super fast shipping)? Best Wishes for your new Opportunity!

    I work in RPV so I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. My paycheck might not make it to the bank next week...
    seriously though this is great news. I'll no longer have to drive out to chino hills (WCS) to buy new shaving stuff :)

    The new location is only two blocks from the main post office.

    Awesome man! Always good to see our friends expanding.

    It would be nice to go at least limited-hours retail... perhaps you could find a local B&Ber who is retired and looking for something to do? I'll give you a call in about 20 years if I don't get a job at Gunslingers

    Congratulations on the new store. That's like right down the street from me! I've always (well, ever since I began this hobby) wanted to go to a shaving store to be able to smell some stuff before I decide what to buy. I look forward to you settling in and being able to make an appointment to make a purchase with you!

    Congrats Phil. As the proprietor of three "brick and mortar" retail locations I understand clearly the amount of work involved with moving/setting up a business. You said the retail/pick-up side of things will be by appointment; are you planning on setting up an informal lobby/showroom for recieving your guests, or more of a "here's my desk and let me show you the warehouse" kind of thing? Will you have hot coffee available? An on-site shave den w/ hot towels and a barber's chair? A mini-bar? Big screen monitor for mantic59 and Seraphim videos?

    Sorry. Got carried away. Have fun in the new site!

    Thank you. At first it will be more of a "here is my office and let me show you around the warehouse". Eventually, I would like to set up a showroom and hot coffee is always a good idea.

    I will certainly be moved by the middle of July. In fact, I will be moved by the middle of June. It will take awhile before I am completely set up though.

    As long as we can come see some brushes and maybe buy some stuff if the SWMBO allows!

    It is open as an on-line store only right now. At some point (hopefully this fall) I will have a pick-up service but that will have to wait until I have employees. The main update is that I was able to install new shipping software which then allowed me to offer an additional shipping option and automatic tracking. One step at a time.
