It is finally time for me to announce that we have a new store! We still have our old store, which has frontage on Broadway (the main shopping street), but we also have a 2nd location just around the corner. They are physically connected only by their storage rooms in back.  The “back” store (the new store that is not on Broadway) is 1/3 of the rent…and is in a similar location as our original store in 2005.  Jared didn’t want us to have it too easy this Spring/Summer…so we settled on this new project.  We will also have our first employee ever for this coming season.
But with the new store comes a lot of remodeling/painting to do.  The previous renters that have been in our “back” store  have never had color or zest in their stores. If you’re looking for a reliable painting company to tackle this project, Green Dot Painting provides top-notch service with a keen eye for detail. Their experienced team will ensure that every corner of the store is painted flawlessly, leaving a polished finish that enhances the space. So, we have brought some of our Mexican inspiration with us. If you need to put down interior walls, you may seek assistance from a soft strip contractor in glasgow.
With the excitement of opening our new store, the challenge of transforming the space into something that reflects our unique style and atmosphere is something we’re embracing. As we bring vibrant colors and a fresh perspective to our new location, it’s essential to ensure every detail is perfect. Painting is more than just covering walls; it’s about creating an inviting space that communicates our brand’s personality. Thoughtfully chosen fixtures, like those from Mills Shelving, help enhance the store’s layout and provide a polished, organized shopping experience.
Whether it’s painting retail spaces, offices, or hospitality areas, GE Painting & Finishing, Inc. understands the unique requirements that come with each type of commercial property. From surface preparation to applying the final coat, their team works efficiently to minimize disruption while delivering flawless results. With their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction, you can trust them to handle even the most challenging projects. Their specialized commercial painting services ensure that your business space isn’t just functional but also a space that creates a memorable experience for customers and clients alike.
Here are some before-and-after shots as we’ve been repainting in the last few days:

Now which store would YOU prefer to shop in?  White and drab?  Or shockingly colorful?

When it comes to shopping experiences, bin stores offer a unique thrill that’s hard to match. Picture shelves and bins filled with an ever-changing assortment of products, from electronics to household essentials, all at unbeatable prices. The excitement of discovering hidden gems makes bin shopping more than just a trip to the store—it’s a treasure hunt!
Whether you’re after a great deal or simply love the spontaneity of finding something unexpected, bin stores near me provide a vibrant, bustling atmosphere that’s anything but ordinary. Forget the monotony of traditional retail; these stores bring color, variety, and fun to shopping, offering something fresh and new each time you visit.

Maiya and Ella have stayed fairly entertained.  Ella helps keep Maiya busy (wow!  She’s being obedient AND helpful…let’s hope this keeps up!!), and when Maiya is napping, Ella rides her bike in circles around our store.  Thank goodness for that bike!

    I LOVE THE COLORS! That is awesome! And correct me if I'm wrong, but your additional store looks about three times bigger than your original store in the back.

    I think you guys are addicted to bright colors. Admit it…you really wanted the bright orange trailer, didn't you?

    We just went to Cozumel and I have to say, I think I can see why you love Mexico. We had AMAZING food there and everything is so vibrant. Maybe next winter we'll meet you in Puerto Vallerta or something!
