URBAN SOLAR SOLUTIONS
opens at
Community Forklift!
Join us in welcoming our newest green business, in the front of the Community Forklift warehouse. Urban Solar Solutions, formerly of Takoma Park, is an eco store with two goals in mind: to save energy and to save the Chesapeake. Of course, that means saving money, too. To those ends, it carries products ranging from dimmable compact flourescents to energy cost monitors, natural mosquito repellents, and green wall panels. It opened its doors on Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Ellen, its manager/owner says "New products are coming in every day as we prepare for our Grand Opening in September. If you do not see something you are looking for, just ask."
The Moore family of Alexandria, Virginia could not wait to buy DEET-free mosquito repellent for 3 year-old Bailey's pool party. Armando welcomed them as Urban Solar Solutions' first customers in its new location on Sunday 8/3.

Life handed us lemons,
so we need to make lemonade!
The railroad tracks near our warehouse are undergoing construction, so periodically they've been closing part of our street, Tanglewood Drive. It is still very easy to get to us from Kenilworth Avenue, but unfortunately, some days there is a "Road Closed to Thru Traffic" sign that is confusing and scaring folks away (Please go to http://www.communityforklift.com/directions.cfm for detailed directions around the closure. Ignore the map - just follow the printed directions).
This is a serious problem, because customers are having trouble finding us. We're not sure how long it's going to be blocked. It's especially bad timing because we should be very busy in mid-summer. The money we make in August helps to carry us through the slow winter - so if the railroad work hurts our sales now, it may cause big problems for us later!
So,we're hoping our Forklift Fans will help us out, especially if we sweeten the deal for you!
1) Come shopping this week! There will be free lemonade, and you can SAVE 10% if you print out the coupon below! (Please go to http://www.communityforklift.com/directions.cfm for detailed directions around the closure. Ignore the map - just follow the printed directions)
2) Volunteer to act silly, and you'll receive TRIPLE STORE CREDIT! That's right, you'll earn $15 AN HOUR in store credit if you wear a sandwich board, wave a sign, or attract attention at the end of the street (You may get a bonus if you bring a costume - perhaps a house, or a giant hammer?) Perfect for high schoolers who need community service hourse. We particularly need help this Saturday, August 9, but any time is appreciated. Please contact Ruthie at 301-904-7579, send an email to Ruthie@CommunityForklift.com, or just show up during store hours!
