@Giles Thanks a lot Giles.

Sent F&P two pair of my 555 for their tapering service. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Great communication before ordering and before the work was agreed on. Being from Ohio they feel like long distance neighbors

We're moving! We'll still be in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, our new address is right up the road at 1339 Frankford Ave., just 5 blocks south of where we've been for the past 9 years. We'll have normal operations at 1817 Frankford Ave all week, closing normally at 5pm on Sunday October 19th. Fingers crossed, we plan on opening our doors to 1339 Frankford Ave right on time at 11am, Tuesday the 21st. Excited to show you the new shop! Here's @andrewfnp in front of the new space!

@CosmoSix5 Thank you for sending those in! We're stoked to hear they worked out so well! Let us know if we ca help stitch anything else!

@F-P-Luke when’s the grand opening party?

[F+P Luke]

@goosehd Thank you!!

@Matt We're planning to have a grand opening/anniversary party this Fall - We're going to get everything moved and set up then the party planning starts!

Awesome to hear! I’ll echo some previous statements from the thread and say that I love many US IH retailers, but y’all are my favorite. One of these days I hope to make it to the store, been ages since I’ve visited Philly.

[Matt]

@popvulture a party seems like as good a reason as any.

[popvulture]

@Matt I mean it is like an hour and a half from Baltimore. Could hit it up next fall.

[Matt]

I’m always up for it.

At Jersey shore and like to party I’m due for a trip to Monks Cafe.

Congrats on the new location.

@F-P-Luke how’s the customer's parking at the new space? Any dedicated customer spaces or lot or first come, first get street parking? Always wanted to swing by when traveling on I-95 past Phila. airport and had a little extra time, but was never sure about the parking situation in Fishtown.

[F+P Luke]

@John-Galt Unfortunately parking spots can be hard to come by in this area! Street parking will get you the closest to us, but paid lots are available just a few short blocks away!

I have found a new route to Philly from WV that is north of MD through PA. If I am free, which is likely, I would love to stop by for an opening party. Especially since I missed the last shindig.

Edit: looks like it's actually the fastest route currently. I just hate driving the southern route through Maryland. It's the worst.

@F-P-Luke thanks for the feedback regarding parking in proximity. Looking forward to stopping in after the move. Hoping to attend the grand opening party if timing should work out.
