Six years ago, almost to the day, we wrote this same story. The one about how we had moved – tripled in size. How we’d finally found our permanent home, our last stop. We had outgrown our 6,000-square-foot warehouse and had moved into 18,00 square feet – a space that at the time felt so massive we were sure we’d never need to move again. And so we wrote a story, and in it we said, “And so here we are with no expectations to move again…We’re not going anywhere anytime soon.”

Is six years soon? It sure feels like it. As it was, we filled those 18,000 square feet in half that time. Just like before the previous four moves, records and boxes started to stack in some pretty strange places. And so here we are, fresh off a full-tilt, all-hands-on-deck move – to 70,000 square feet! Yup, we’ve nearly quadrupled our size. 70,000 square feet! The idea that 6,000 square feet held our whole company as recently as six years ago is just hilarious for us to think about now. At the rate we’re going, we might have bathrooms that size in the next place.

So, what are we going to do with 70,000 square feet? Let’s have a look.

Acoustic Sounds, Inc. is now housed in three separate buildings, all across the street from one another. First, we’ve got a 30,000 square foot dedicated warehouse. That means 30,000 square feet of inventory – vinyl, CDs, stereo equipment and more vinyl. Oh, and more vinyl after that. This warehouse is nearly the length of a city block – the long side of the block. To go with such a huge space we’re implementing major order processing improvements that will allow us to get product from the trucks, to the shelves, into the boxes and back on the trucks much more efficiently.
