Walking through our web warehouse today the Grooming Guys couldn’t help but reflect back to the early days and how things have changed. Back in 1999, we were just a couple of guys with some good skin, a fledgling web site, the desire to open some stores and some big dreams (which we are working toward, but still have not totally reached).
How small were we? Well, all our web orders used to be packed and filled on the piece of exercise equipment you see in the upper left corner here. Yep, the not-often used treadmill in Mike’s basement was our pick and pack area. The shipping area was the post office in Bethesda, Maryland. We could usually carry all our boxed orders in a large Giant (the local grocery store) bag.
Today, although we have our own dedicated web warehouse complete with its own staff, we often reflect back on the care and TLC we were able to give to each order when there were only a handful a day. We know that same care has to continue to go into every order — even when the number of orders coming in is beyond our wildest dreams. We think we still live up to our founding standards.
Anyway, thanks so much to everyone who has made our company’s growth possible and enabled Mike’s treadmill to be freed up. Now… at least his son has a place to put his Mighty Morphin Power Ranger action figures.
