It's a huge facility but most of it is manufacturing and warehouse space. I believe they said their showroom area will be a couple thousand sqft. This is a vast improvement over the 12x12 room with a service counter that they currently have in Red Oak.

Can't wait to browse the showroom.

Since you drive by a couple of times each day, be sure to post when you see the OPEN sign.

Will do.

Only if you break the law. http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/use/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I bet the State just gets swamped every year by folks paying the taxes they owe from buying goods in other states or countries. I am guessing it is the same amount of folks who turn themselves in for speeding.

Patiently waiting also. Gives me a good reason to head that way to meet the wife for lunch.... Other than meeting the wife for lunch that is :-)

Sign in front of building says they will open the 5th of April.

Dang, just bought a scope and mount from them. It's on my list to stop by there some day.

Yes, there is that.

Yes, there is that.

But their competitors don't carry the very excellent SWFA brand of scopes (of which I've already purchased two and I hold them in high regard) and neither will those competitors carry the "SWFA Exclusive" scopes (http://swfa.com/Leupold-SWFA-Exclusive- ... C4077.aspx) made for them by Leupold. For instance, the 1.5-5x33 VXR scout scope I bought for my RGS is available only from SWFA.
