The past two weeks have been a whirlwind at the new retail store. We have received printers from Flashforge (AD5M Pro and AD5X), filament from EPAX 3D and BambuLab. We are still waiting on parts and accessories from Flashforge and our initial order of hotends and nozzles from Phaetus. This is rounding out our initial inventory for launching the store. More products and vendors will be added as we ramp up. We have also ordered and received several fixtures for the store that we will need to assemble and arrange.
We have also been making progress on the store itself. The floor in the retail and office space has been finished thanks to K1 Epoxy and Coatings! We are replacing all the overhead fluorescent lights with LEDs that both brighten the space and are more energy efficient. We will be painting the walls in the retail space this weekend and beginning the electrical work to upgrade the outlets in the main area. In short, a LOT has been taking place and we are putting in the hours to get the retail storefront ready for customers.
With all that said, the website is active and all of our inventory is available for purchase on the site. We have the ability to purchase online and pickup in the store. Shipping is currently still a work in progress as the FedEx and UPS integrations are not playing nicely just yet. In fact, JediSpidey dropped by on Tuesday and was our first official customer! Stay tuned for more information as we prepare for the soft launch of the store in January and the Grand Opening in February 2026!
