We are located in a historic factory, originally built in the 1800’s. Over the years it has manufactured Foot Lockers, P-38’s, M16 clips for the Vietnam War, and also served as a hinge and spring factory,. We were even home to the Shelby Light bulb Factory (the “forever bulb”). Currently, our store is a labrynth encompassing over 25,000 sq feet of retail space, with the building spanning over 100,000 square feet. We have 3 floors of warehouse space in this building, as well as 2 other warehouses!. If you truly want a shopping experience like no other, come and explore the nooks and crannies!
