    Almost finished with the move

    We have out grown our old site so I am in the process of moving the factory to Allentown. I found a nice pace with over 7,000 sqft and we are going to open to the public as well. I figured I am buying from a yard for $1.60 a pound so I might as well pay$1.55 to the contractor/scrapper and save a nickle a pound.



    I'll post some pics later of the new place.

    Red Tape = Fund Raiser for anyone that thinks they need a piece of your pie.

    Hope the move goes well and you have some pie left when you get settled in.

    Congrats on the move. In this day and age with the economy the way it is, the city coucil should welcome you with open arms, not an open wallet. After all you will be contributing to their tax base and with the idea of opening to the public, bringing in additional income to the local businesses such as gas stations, cafes, diners etc. Good luck with the new location and the rest of you move.

    I hope you got tax breaks and incentives to boot with the city of ALLENTOWN, PA. I can remember a time when a certain individual jim dwyer said I wouldn't buy from the public because of all the headaches associated with it.
