On Friday, June 30th, magic happened.

Okay, so it wasn’t literally “magic,” but it was still a huge day for us, as we celebrated moving into our new facility with a traditional Ribbon Cutting ceremony, sponsored by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce!  We began the festivities around 11:30 AM, and had about 200 of our friends come out to celebrate alongside us (as well as to dine on some fine hamburgers and hot dogs–what outing is complete without food, right)?  As people socialized, they signed their names and “good luck” messages on our Testimonial Banner, and printed their own shirts (with supervision, of course).  We had two different designs and colors of t-shirts (gray and orange) that our guests could choose from, and we let them go to town.  We walked them through the process, step-by-step, and let them set, turn, and print on our manual press (a little effort never hurt anyone)!  All enjoyed the fruits of their labor, as they got to keep their self-produced work of t-shirt art.

In terms of space, we’ve acquired a significant upgrade, as we’ve moved from having only 1500 sq. ft. to 2700!  That’s a 80% increase!  Is it lame that I just figured that out?  Oh well…

Not only do we have significantly more room, but we’re also in a much better, more convenient location!  Our new location is at 307 Jason Drive, right behind Porter Paints.

They say that a picture paints a thousand words.  Now I don’t know who “they” are, but I think they’re right, so here’s some pictures recapping the day:
