Nice!

But seriously…why Cheyenne, Wyoming?  I think Phoenix, Arizona would have been the much better option....cause uhhh, the fishing here is great...lot's of lakes and stuff.... cacti too.

We have no customers in Wyoming, so no need to set up sales tax stuff.  Plus Wyoming is super business friendly (and personally I think it looks cool as shit…..

Agreed.

and the fishing…

Nice move. My office is based in Golden, CO. I have done the drive to Cheyenne, and still to this day is one of the most scenic I have ever done in the USA.

Thinking about the drive, I think it gets better traveling north of Cheyenne.

Wyoming is a GREAT spot for your business to be set up. They Love small business in WY, so your taxes should be quite manageable.

Plus, yes - it’s beautiful out there.

Thank you guys….As long as we have no agent or anyone on the payroll in Wyoming the UK/US bilateral trade agreement allows us to pay no taxes in the USA, just in the UK -  as we do now.....

Can I please be the Belgian agent named Double Oh Piss Off. No need to put me on the payroll. Just calling dibsies.

So does this mean you won't be opening up a brick and mortar in LA now?

[Seul]

If you do, will you name it Brick & Morty, please?..

[Giles]

Did we ever say we would?  If we did, it would have been way down the line.  If Ignition and/or Iron Heart America successful enough, then we will look at opening a physical presence somewhere in The USA.  Kens Factory is not large enough to house a store, so we would not necessarily be tied to LA.  And we are more likley to open what is effectively a fulfilment centre (much like we have here), that a shop and the location of that will be determined mainly by legal and fiscal concerns.

If at some point, it becomes apparent that we need a physical store, then we will do it.

[seawolf]

Ah! Makes sense. I think I misunderstood the intent. So is the fulfillment center still going to be at Ken's? Or is that what you're looking to put in Wyoming?

@Giles:

and the location of that will be determined mainly by legal and fiscal concerns.

Which almost 100% will mean not California…...

[Chris]

The only logical place would be San Antonio.

How big is your garage?

Last time I saw it didn’t have drywall or a door yet… [emoji23]

Yeah forget San Antonio, there's way too many Texans there.

St. Louis is pretty much right in the middle of the country. Just sayin’. And I have a ton of retail experience. 

[Broark]

Bring it to Austin, Texas and I'll run it for 'ya.

How about Milwaukee ? Home of Harley-Davidson. Great retail spaces, and a warehouse district within a stone's throw of the Harley Museum. 90 minutes from Chicago/O'Hare. Sounds like a winner to me.
