<\/a>Then we made our first step into outside storage. \u00a0It had to be somewhere close, gave good access and was secure. \u00a0We found a storage company renting single garage space with roller door but no power. \u00a0It was pretty cozy but we managed to get things done there for about 18 months before we outgrew the space.<\/p>\n After getting tired of moving cartons, squeezing in and out of the place and worrying about weather intruding into the shed, we moved on to something bigger. \u00a0It was time to move into a double garage space at a different location and it even had a powerpoint! \u00a0We could make up orders at night and even have a heater for the winter. \u00a0Luxury.<\/p>\n After growing even more we decided to make a leap into a real industrial unit with normal rent, access to the internet, power and phone. \u00a0Heady days. \u00a0It was a decent size lease and what we would describe as feeling like it was a ‘real’ business. \u00a0Not just a fun hobby to do at night and weekends. \u00a0There was plenty of space and we set up for the long term.<\/p>\n There was still some spare room at the front of the warehouse so we decided to go crazy and design a showroom any lingerie loving guy (and plenty of women) would be pleased to visit. \u00a0It wasn’t pretty at the start but it soon turned out to be something special.<\/p>\n Some nice carpet, a bit of colour, a chandelier, wallpaper and nice lingerie. \u00a0What more could you want.<\/p>\n Unfortunately we didn’t get as many visitors as we hoped -although those that did come in certainly enjoyed the experience. \u00a0Then we had suffered a hit when our lease was unexpectedly ended early. \u00a0All that setup for nought. \u00a0And we had to move quickly. \u00a0So we moved into our current position and have recently added shelving to enable easier picking of orders and to tidy up the place.<\/p>\n A showroom might still be on the agenda for one day but for the moment we need to regroup, expand our range of lingerie and and build the online business.<\/p>\n We think we can stay here for a few years yet provided our lease continues to be renewed. \u00a0Fingers crossed we can outgrow this place too one day!<\/p>\n None of this would be possible without the continued support from all our customers. \u00a0Makes us wonder where we might be in another 5 or 10 years!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the Aussie financial year behind us, we recently decided to change the warehouse layout of our lingerie. \u00a0Now we have entered our ninth year it’s sometimes difficult to remember where we started and how we have grown over the years.
