In case you ever wondered what the inside of a wall looks like.

Here it is: the store room and 2 changing rooms are taking shape!





And here's the landmark that flanks the entrance to the shopping center. Can't miss it!



And in case you ever wondered what you do when you are new business owners waiting for your store to be renovated...well, you agonize over every tiny decision about everything from shoe color to what fabric feels better to what flavor Gu tastes better to what font to use for your logo to what light fixture looks sleeker to whether we want a touch screen or keyboard on the counter...and the list goes on. And we're sleepy, but still smiling :)

The Build Out Begins...

Our contractor (Paul) got started on Monday and continued with some more demo...more walls came down, old ugly light fixtures came down, and soon a new wall will go up to create our inventory space and 2 changing rooms. And mysteriously, the neon ICE CREAM sign reappeared.





Location. Location. Location.
Right outside our storefront is one of the trailheads for the American Tobacco Trail. We plan to offer half and full marathon training programs and a women's running clinic from the store.

The demo is nearly complete!

Goodbye Edy's Ice Cream (and a gazillion multicolored bouncy balls and the stench of old, warm dairy you left behind), hello Bull City Running Company! Our build-out is set to begin on Monday and if all goes well we will announce our grand opening at the very beginning of September!

Check back to chart our progress as this store (and our lives) transform. We'll do our best to keep up the blog!

Here are a few before and after photos:

Soon our name will appear here in bright white!
