Our lease expires on 30 November and we have been working since May on where we want to spend the next 5 years or more. Its a huge task negotiating a commercial lease as it involves, over time, a fortune in rent and small monthly differences add up to big piles of cash, either to be saved or handed across.
After serious consideration of 6 different locations, including the one we are already in, we've decided to move, but not very far afield. Our new home is technically called "Suite AG" but it's easier to call it "The shop right at the other end of Timberlyne beyond Cup A Joe and Oscars". Sprint were in there when they first came into Timberlyne but nobody's been there for a while. It's a bit out of the way for some retailer's taste but it's just perfect for us! We're very happy being at the quiet end of Timberlyne (especially after the deluge of disco music from the new Taekwando circus that moved in next to us a couple of months ago). We'll also be more visible to the clients of Oscar's, Cup A Joe and the Chelsea and hope to reach a lot of new people who don't know about us. We're banking that all our present friends will manage to find us at the new place and that we'll pick up some new friends over there too.

Tiles have been laid, walls knocked out and painting commences this week. We will shift operations when the technicians move our coolers, and not sure when but probably by the end of next week. If you drive by the Timberlyne area you'll know when we move by the flurry of signs with arrows on them. (That's if you can find the signs among the blizzard of campaign signs.) Stay tuned for news of the big trek across the parking lot, and if you're handy with a paint brush, and otherwise bored, put on some old clothes and come grab a brush!
