August has been busy at the shop. We sold all but one of the road bicycles we had available. We also gave away quite a few bicycles, bringing the 2013 total up to 320. WE hosted another class for Downtown Congregations to End Homelessness. Facebook “likes” are up to about 740. The remodel project continues, with plans to complete just about all of the ceiling work by the end of the Labor Day weekend. We scored a great deal on some track lighting and will be installing it as soon as we finish painting the ceiling. We are also still accepting bids for the electrical work, and are still looking for a fabulous deal on three ceiling fans with schoolhouse light kits. We have not yet scheduled the grand re-opening, but it looks like it will be in the latter part of October. Watch this space for details.
We wish to give a special shout out to Tom R. and Kendra. Those two have given so much of their time to the remodeling project. There is no way we could get this done in a timely manner without their help. Thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts.
The new look is evolving fast, so come and check it out, along with the cool stuff and bicycles we have for sale. We anticipate getting a bunch more bicycles now that the fall cleanup season is here. Stop by soon – you never know what you will discover.
