Shovels to Scissors
Thank you for all of those who came to our ribbon cutting to celebrate the grand opening of our NEW location!
Our new building is located at:
26600 72nd Ave S, Suite 101
Kent, WA 98032
7 short months ago all of us at Classic Accessories were bused over to a HUGE dirt lot with shovels in hand and excitement in the air, we broke ground on what was to become our NEW 229,276 square foot building.
Within 7 months, our building was move in ready! Our warehouse staff worked 28 straight days to move 8,231 pallets of products which took 291 semi-trailers to move! Our new office space holds over 100 full time employees with a two-floor open concept design. It’s one of the first LEED certified spaces in Kent, WA as well.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is one of the most popular green building certification programs used worldwide. Developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods that aims to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently. LEED certified buildings are intended to use resources more efficiently when compared to conventional buildings simply built to code.
Our new location was designed with careful considerations to our in-house teams with spaces for Quality Control, Photography/ Videography Studio and an indoor/outdoor patio space (since we kind of like to walk-the-walk in that category) just to name a few.
If you missed our LIVE video, please take a look below for our CEO, Brian Bozlinski’s speech today before the ribbon cutting:
Brian ended the remarks with, “I just want to share how very proud I am of our team, not only for the efforts everyone has put in over the years, but for their ability to continually embrace and drive change for the betterment of their team members and our customers, a true testament to the strength of our staff. We are excited for our new space not only because it provides our team with a better environment but how it will enhance our ability to better serve our customers, support our future initiatives and what we like to say here at Classic Accessories, to enjoy the journey.”
