Grand Opening May ?th.
Sorry, I said May 4th but that will probably slip. We have several different cigar manufacturers that want to participate and we need to slip the date to accommodate them. So, Opening is set for April 20th. The Grand Opening is still a little up in the air.
There is a huge amount of activity going on in the lounge now. On Thursday the signs were installed by Sun Graphics of Newark CA. We got a lot of feedback on signs but Sun Graphics really outdid themselves with designing an awesome sign for us.
The front is lighted 4" deep signs and looks great as you drive down Mowry Blvd. We have had people stopping by throughout the day asking when we are opening. It really pops at night!
The parking lot side (where you walk in) are not lit but the lights above it make it easy to read at night as well. Sun Graphics installed both the front and back in about 1/2 a day.
The design of the signs really have a sense of old time look we wanted and are noticeable. Lots of people are already stopping in to find out when they can buy cigars. We had a fire chief stop by today wanting to know when we open.
Interior is done! I'll post pictures of what the lounge in a couple of days. The grinding and buffing of the floor created a lot of dust. We had a cleaning party Thursday night and Friday to clean all the dust out and get ready to move furniture in.
Here is part of the work crew. From left to right. Jeff beck, Art Hage, John Cooper and Joel Lach. Jeff, John and Joel are all owners. Art is the new Manager. His first day was Friday and he has been helping getting us set up.
Once the police found out we were opening we
Please meet Art our new Manager. He has a lot of retail experience and can fill gaps that a bunch of engineers who have never really worked retail before have. He is going to be a great asset to us
Once the police found out about us they did a little parade in front of our store! Just kidding there was a protest down the middle of Mowry Blvd yesterday with some Occupy Fremont Movement or anit-war or Trayvon Martin killing or any other topic. This line of police was making sure things were kept safe for everybody. Great job Fremont PD.
