    There was a recent thread about a Rockler opening in that area...it will be nice to have one within a reasonable distance. The last time I had the opportunity to visit one was in the Denver area years ago!

    Also here in Florida another Rockler store to open in Jacksonville.
    The Brandon FL store which opened in February has broken company records.

    I just found out they are finally opening a store in Fairfax Virginia. There are three Woodcraft Stores in the area already.

    Yup. Nice store, nice staff. Big inventory.

    Wish it was a little closer.

    NJ was always a hard place for stores like these. Woodcraft apparently did the research and the word I got was "it would be more profitable to open a store accross the street from any of our current stores then to open in NJ"

    Walter,
    do you know exactly where in Fairfax? For some reasonRockler is a little secretive.

    I live inside the beltway in Falls Church, VA. When we moved here, our real estate agent tried and tried to find us an unfinished basement without success. Land here is so expensive that homeowners finish every square inch they can to maximize value. To get what we wanted we had to build.

    This is a hobby that really like space. I know there are some things that can be done in minimal space but face it, a Sawstop can eat a room.

    Geepers...that's a few feet from where my "office" was prior to retirement. I used to stay at that Hilton just around the corner from the store location. (it was a Hyatt then)

    The store will be about 45 miles from me, strait shot down the turnpike. Hopefully it will do well and draw in a good customer base as stay open. I think Woodcraft making a statement that a Store in NJ won't do good is possible now, vs 15 years back due to people just internet sourcing so many goods. I've gone out to woodcraft stores and found the prices higher than the same thing I can grab on Amazon. When I do get to a woodcraft store, i will usually still buy some things to give the local store some business.
    Distraction could lead to dismemberment!

    I wish either Woodcraft or Rockler would open a store in the Mid-Hudson River region. As it is now I have to drive to Allentown, PA to get to a Woodcraft store. Rockler is even worse - Buffalo or Boston.
