Don always tells me when it’s right, it’s easy–and he was correct once again. The frustrating hunt for a new location began about five months ago, with our customers, friends, and other business folks offering advice, suggestions, and ideas for the next step of the journey. We looked at properties all around–Plano, Richardson, Wylie, downtown Garland, and Sachse. We sifted through square footage, NNNs, and sizes ranging from 800 sq ft to over 2,000 sq ft. None seemed particularly fitting for what we do, and wanting to stay somewhat close to our current storefront, we faced rents that were pretty exorbitant, especially given the economic climate.

On Don’s suggestion, I contacted the Sachse Chamber of Commerce to see if any of the former city hall spaces were available; they, in turn, gave me the number of the man who owns the former Chamber house. Lo and behold, although another business had expressed interest, no lease had been signed…all we had to do was wait it out and see what happened. After almost a month, the owner of the lease space called–and as simple as that, we handed him a check, got the okay to change the locks and will start the two-month process of moving our oil shop.

We will continue to sell quality body and fragrance oils, along with all our other scented products, and we also wanted to reach out to the diy community with soap supplies for the home crafter and those wanting to start their own business. If you or someone you know is interested in raw materials, molds, colorants, and ready to use bases, email us with specific needs so we can have them stocked and ready. Wholesale accounts need to have a current copy of a resale certificate on file. This can be found at http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxforms/01-3392.pdf
