Matt and Beth participated in the ThinkRichmond.com Scavenger Hunt this week sponsored by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. They went to 9 local businesses collecting stamps to fill out a game board for a chance to win a $500 gift card. A big thank you to Richmond Car and Truck Center, ERA, For Paws Unleashed, Just for Pets, Stockton Mortgage, Elvira’s, Ky Farm Bureau and US Bank for participating!

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:

So for those of you how haven’t tried out Culver’s over in the Richmond Centre (or what I like to call baby Hamburg) I highly recommend that you check them out. The staff at Surge dined at Culver’s yesterday for lunch and we all really enjoyed it! Not only was the food good, but the new staff was great! They were very helpful and eager to make all the customers happy. Culver’s might just be my new favorite place to visit!

Surge really enjoysshowing support for local business and meeting the employees of the establishments. Maybe we will see you at your business soon!
