Great!! Congratulations!!!

[Jarred Land]

There are a few exclusive-to-the-store items as well.. Limited Run Shirts etc.

Worth Checking out for sure...

[Sarah C.]

AWESOME. Sooo.. would it be cool or uncool to wander in wearing my Oakley shades and clothes? :)

~S

[Ed Watkins]

Wow.. that's very cool.

Everything RED makes looks so industrial.
I feel 10 times more manly just for owning a RED ONE.

In fact I'm off to go and have a shave, I can feel the stubble growing just looking at the store. :weight_lift:

[Craig Meadows]

The competition will never find you with all that camo netting. :) Looks cool!

[Nate Heartt]

:w00t: Wwwhhhooooooo!!!!!

if you look closely i'm actually standing in the back wearing a camo netting jumpsuit... :shiftyph34r:

[Sanjin Jukic]

Congratulation to the first RED Store!!!

[Michael "Dorkman" Scott]

I came in to drop off my EVF for repair yesterday and they let me wait in the store. I think I may be the first "public" customer. :)

Even if not, it's a nice store and very exciting stuff. Congrats!

[Ricardo Mehedff]

interesting design... is RED getting ready for war with someone?! :waaa:

[Kelly]

We can't wait to have some of you stop by!

[Chosei Funahara]

It'll take 7 hours to get your store from my house.

[Kelly]

Aren't we worth it? :-)

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

For sure . it worth to fly for it .Congrats :love:

[mikeburton]

Only 5.5 hours for me from the Bay Area. Oooops, my girlfriend hid the car keys on me.

[Nate Heartt]

better start walking. :)

[mikeburton]

better start walking. :)

Walking to the airport...You'll pick me up from the Burbank airport, right Nate? :) or better yet, Kelly!

[Ameer Azari]

Yeah,

Now I'm gonna fly in (with a tent!) to wait for the Scarlet...

[Brian B]

the next plan, Nates airport shuttle service! ;)

[Nate Heartt]

the next plan, Nates airport shuttle service! ;)

i'm just running the service... i'm going to get my buddy Randy to do all of driving... he can have a cut... a small cut :shifty:

[Nils Ruinet]

Nice !

Now, about that european service center...:whistling:
Any news ?

[Steve Gibby]

Way cool RED...I'll stop by next week and score some stuff :biggrin:

[Mark Phelan]

Jarred/Kelly,

Will the store be open on Friday the 19th? Might have to pick up a limited run shirt while there.

Looking forward to it.

Mark

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

It'll take 7 hours to get your store from my house.

Let´s see....

It will take me approx.:

Home-Gardermoen Oslo Airport, approx. 45 mins.
Gardermoen-London Heathrow, approx. 150 mins.
waiting for connecting plane at heathrow, approx. 160 mins.
Heathrow-LAX, apporx 11 hrs
Then there is getting through the MAYHEM that is US immigration, feeling like a war refugee... 1 hr

Then getting to AVIS (or other car rental) via shuttlebus and waiting at the counter. approx 30 mins

THEN THIS:
Driving directions to Valencia Cir, Lake Forest, CA 92630
55.9 mi – about 59 mins (up to 1 hour 50 mins in traffic)

Los Angeles International
Los Angeles Int'l Airport

1. Head west on W Century Blvd toward Vicksburg Ave 0.3 mi
2. Turn left at S Sepulveda Blvd 0.8 mi
3. Take the ramp onto I-105 E 17.1 mi
4. Take the exit onto I-605 N 1.7 mi
5. Take the exit onto I-5 S/Santa Ana Fwy toward Santa Ana 27.3 mi
6. Take exit 96B to merge onto CA-133 N toward Santa Margarita
Partial toll road
3.3 mi
7. Take exit 14A to merge onto CA-241 S toward Santa MargaritaToll road 4.7 mi
8. Take the Lake Forest Dr exit 0.3 mi
9. Turn right at Lake Forest Dr 0.1 mi
10. Turn left at Rancho Pkwy 0.2 mi
11. Turn right at Windrow Dr 377 ft
12. Turn right at Fuerte Dr 276 ft
13. Fuerte Dr turns slightly left and becomes Valencia Circle 75 ft

Valencia Cir
Lake Forest, CA 92630


Which gives me a total travelling time of somewhere between 19 hrs 25 minutes and 20 hrs 15 minutes, depending on LA traffic...

Given that the plane will land 3.05pm local time, That makes the time for arrival at the RED store somewhere between 5.35pm and 6.25pm

Will you be open then?



*To accomplish this schedule I wil have to set my alarm clock to approx 8.30pm LA local time (which means 05.00 in the morning my time - and I will arrive at 2.35am Norway time) the day BEFORE I intend to shop at the RED store.

The price to get there will be somewhere between 1400 US$ and 1900 US$ (includes going back home the NEXT day) not counting accomodations.... I think I will stick to fedex for now...

BTW: Great looking store, I ´d love to go there u know!

[Peter Majtan]

but.... visiting the RED STORE... Priceless. :)

[Kelly]

Eirik... you could have been here already if you did not just spend all that time calculating times in the post! You are really missing out! ;-)

[Randy]

As Nate's Driver of the shuttle service I take cash only for each person there is an 18% gratuity minimum anything after that is more then welcome.

*this will be from John wayne in orange county only, LAX shuttle will be 35% gratuity on top of Nate's fees.

Thank you for your inquiries

[Andrew Benz]

We can't wait to have some of you stop by!

Why do I live in Little Rock?:wink:

Congratulations everyone, I look forward to coming out and visit soon.

Cheers-- Benz

[RicanJoe]

Cool, how do I apply?

[RicanJoe]

The next one has got to be in Downtown Chicago.

[Rob Lohman]

Way cool RED...I'll stop by next week and score some stuff :biggrin:

Don't forget to say hi :bleh:

[Randy]

Why do I live in Little Rock?:wink:

Congratulations everyone, I look forward to coming out and visit soon.

Cheers-- Benz


Andrew,

we'll make an exception for you buddy. I'm driving out to you now........

serious whenever your out here let me know. your a preferred customer

[number6]

Eirik... you could have been here already if you did not just spend all that time calculating times in the post! You are really missing out! ;-)

Kelly, you would have been great in a Noxema commercial:w00t:

[Steve Gibby]

Don't forget to say hi :bleh:

Absolutely Rob...it will be way cool to see you and the rest of RED Team again
:w00t:

I'll be living dangerously bringing a credit card with me to the RED Candy Store - but playing it safe just isn't in my nature!

[Cüneyt Kaya]

sexyyyy.....when did you find the time?
does jim hired a gang of humpa lumpas?

[Tom Lowe]

Any Epic gear in there?

[Tony Lorentzen]

Awesome. I'll make sure to stop by if I'm in the area some day. In the meantime - put up a world map and have visitors place a needle of where they're from and then take a picture of it each day and post them here.

[Nate Heartt]

i like the map idea....

[Casey Green]

Nice. Even more reason to visit now, eh Jarred? ;)

[Lewis-M Soucy]

Neat, congrats! Are all the items in the online Redstore available there to Red owners with the same rules?

[Steve Sanacore]

i like the map idea....

Can we come and pick up our camera when it's ready? Along with some t-shirts and stuff...?

It's about 3,000 miles but worth it.

[Kelly]

If the items are not on backorder or in limited supply they should be available in the store.

[Kelly]

Nope, no camera pick ups here in the store. We will not be doing any will call. If you want to get accessories here, please come to the store and place the order while you are here. Any orders placed online or over the phone with the bomb squad will not be able to be picked up at the store.

[Kelly]

... however 3,000 miles is worth it for t-shirts if you ask me!

[Tail Ends]

Cool? Awsome? Looks pretty make shift to me. Who was your production designer? Must have been a USC stand out. How can a company that comes out with such great looking products end up with a store that does not reflect the same high design standards? I'm unimpressed.

[David Wilson]

Kelly, I'll be needing a 10 ft LCD cable pretty quickly and would love to make the drive down to pick it up and have a chance to see the splendid new store.

If the web store does not say anything about backorder or limited supply, can I assume I would be likely to find it on hand in the Lake Forest store?

Congratulations on the opening!

[Steve Sherrick]

Do you have any T-shirts for 10 month old babies? My baby girl is already super cool, but a RED T-shirt would take the cool factor up a few more notches.

[Steve Sherrick]

Cool? Awsome? Looks pretty make shift to me. Who was your production designer? Must have been a USC stand out. How can a company that comes out with such great looking products end up with a store that does not reflect the same high design standards? I'm unimpressed.

Because they sold enough cameras to do whatever they want.

Can't please everyone :sad:

[Tim Hole]

I seem to remember, in getting directions that it used to say 'swim' on googlemaps or multimap when putting in directions across the Atlantic!

As much as I would like to cross the pond to see you and pay my respects to the Red Altar, I'd rather save the money for RED GEAR. You understand don't you, its nothing personal. I'm a sucker for working cheap, helping out all the Indie's in the area, such a humble living doesn't pay you know!!! In fact Lobsang, a Tibetan monk friend of mine, lives a more materialistic life than I.

---thinking about it being Tibetan, he wears the RED colour scheme, I'm gonna have to turn him into a walking RED billboard. Watch this space. photo's will arrive!

[Martin Weiss]

I seem to remember, in getting directions that it used to say 'swim' on googlemaps or multimap when putting in directions across the Atlantic!
No, Google has stopped being unusual. Now it only says that it cannot calculate the way. Hope that not every company has to become over-serious when they grow in size...

[Michael Schrengohst]

So you going for the Apple model? Kinda looks like the skate shops my son likes to go to.

[Tim Hole]

Hei Hei

Can't see RED going down that road somehow!! You gotta keep a sense of humour otherwise whats the point.

[Pierce Cook]

What about those hats with the CF holders Jim mentioned? :)

This looks awesome! Anyone else on the east coast want to road-trip it out there??

[Paul Hazlett]

Aren't we worth it? :-)

Kelly if you are working the counter I dont think the store has enough space.

You will have to many guys crowding in and never leaving!!!

[Jerrod Cordell]

Now you guys just need to make one in Florida. Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase?! :)

[Jason Badham]

That looks awesome... I can't wait to check it out the next time I go down to Orange...

[Andrew M.]

May I pickup my zoom lenses for cash in the store?

[Jason Badham]

Do you guys take out-of-state two-party bad checks?

[Meryem Ersoz]

Cool? Awsome? Looks pretty make shift to me. Who was your production designer? Must have been a USC stand out. How can a company that comes out with such great looking products end up with a store that does not reflect the same high design standards? I'm unimpressed.

Ha ha, dude, you sound just like Heidi Klum!

Jarred, you and your tasteless, derivative, predicatable store design are out! Auf wiedersehen!

I watch waaay too much television!

I'm glad that you guys are doing this, a storefront is an excellent addition to your list of services.

The unit next door to me is for sale and about the same size. Let me know if you want to set up Red's southwestern store division....Boulder is a nice spot.

[Brent@RED]

May I pickup my zoom lenses for cash in the store?

Yes, if we have the lenses in stock.


Ha ha, dude, you sound just like Heidi Klum!

Jarred, you and your tasteless, derivative, predicatable store design are out! Auf wiedersehen!

We got the camo netting at Mood ;)

BC

[Paul Hazlett]

Yes, if we have the lenses in stock.
BC

I hope you mean 18-50 lens....heheh

[lnp25]

will definitely be by the next time I'm in La...
CB

[Harrison Diamond]

... however 3,000 miles is worth it for t-shirts if you ask me!

Don't tempt me.
I'm what you might call a sucker for T-shirts.

[Jeff Coatney]

Your store is beautiful, but way too small. I want to see the Scarlet plan-o-gram, the Epic end-caps and the Red Legs tripod in the window.

[James Press]

Strueth, a bloke would have a dusty throat walking from here...

[JanneJansson]

Or just admire the outside of the building on google maps:

[Mitch Gross]

Why do I get the feeling that a lot of Redusers will be asking if Kelly's around?

[Brent@RED]

Funny, no one ever asks if I am around :p

BC

[David Wilson]

Brent, are you going to be around this afternoon?

[Mark L. Pederson]

I think it's time for the East Coast location ...

I know a great location in Soho ...

it's right around the corner from the Soho Oakley store ....

I can cut you an amazing deal on the rent!

[Shawn Booth]

Do you offer drool buckets at the door? Yes? I'll take two....

[Brent@RED]

Brent, are you going to be around this afternoon?

The is a first time for everything, it seems :)

BC

[Mark L. Pederson]

The is a first time for everything, it seems :)

BC

Brent, are you around?

[David Wilson]

"The is a first time for everything, it seems"

Just trying to help keep everyone's spirits up...

On another note, how do we tell if a particular product is good in stock at the Lakae Forest store before we swim across the Atlantic (or drive down from Culver City)?

[Matt Newcomb]

Sweet, can't wait to come visit, although, doesn't look like much to really buy without owning a red yet. Do you give any tours or anything? Taking any applications? ;)

Can I camp out there for a Scarlet?

[Brook Willard]

That is an intensely cool shirt rack...

Is this in the room to the left of the lobby in the new building?

[Nate Heartt]

That is an intensely cool shirt rack...

Is this in the room to the left of the lobby in the new building?

certainly not your ordinary shirt rack... and yup, its the room next to the lobby. :)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

If you need a satellite location in Denver or Scottsdale, just let me know. :)

...not kidding

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

RED is so Apple!

[Andrew Benz]

Andrew,

we'll make an exception for you buddy. I'm driving out to you now........

serious whenever your out here let me know. your a preferred customer

Don't do it Randy, Hurricane Ike will stop you in Texas Buddy!:)

I will certainly give you heads up when I come out to Cali, I owe you guys some drinks!

BTW, I love my camera... #557 has been Rock Solid, thank you.

[Brent@RED]

On another note, how do we tell if a particular product is good in stock at the Lake Forest store before we swim across the Atlantic (or drive down from Culver City)?

Just give us an email or call ahead of time to check. And we are also working on inventory status for RED.com store that will let you know what is in short supply.

BC

[Jason Wingrove]

more pics please.....!!!
for those who arent quite so conveniently placed to pop in :-)

[Corrado Silveri]

Great. Brilliant. Wish to be there... anytime soon.

[Raphael Varandas]

Aren't we worth it? :-)

Wow...a thousand percent.
Im getting the next flight!!!

[Raphael Varandas]

Brazil-Nevada

[David Wilson]

Just give us an email or call ahead of time to check. And we are also working on inventory status for RED.com store that will let you know what is in short supply.

BC

Thanks Brent, I do need a couple of things and will be certain call before I come down just to be sure they are in stock.

Anxious to see the new store in person.

[Raphael Varandas]

Definitely

[Zhibo Lai]

I came in to drop off my EVF for repair yesterday and they let me wait in the store. I think I may be the first "public" customer. :)


Sorry DorkmanScott... I was their first public customer as confirmed by Randy and Kelly, who were super welcoming of me to their new store. I took a visit out to LA on the 1st week of Sept, then decided to check out the Red store in Lake Forest. I called ahead, but the lady said they weren't open yet and not doing any tours. I had just flown to LA from DC, so I wasn't gonna let that stop me.

I drove down 1.5 hours to Red HQ on Sept 4th, walked in the front door and the receptionist was very friendly, even offered me and my friend drinks and candy. I took some pictures in the lobby. And then came Randy and Kelly from the new Red store and invited me in.

I took many pictures and even got to test out a Red one for the first time. Never thought I would be able to lay my hands on one of these things, and the 1080p monitor was showing footage shot on Red. The images are unlike any HD footage I've seen before. It looks equal, if not, better than film images.

They also had a Post station for demo too. I got pictures with Randy and Kelly. Can I post them here with your permission?

I was aslo the first non Red employee to own a Red employee t-shirt, and even tested out their new credit card ordering system.

This is by far, the highlight of my LA drip and definitely worth the drive from LA to Lake Forest. You guys are the coolest. All the people I met there were super nice.

I am buying the Scarlet in 2009, and maybe sometime in the not-too-distant future, I will get to shoot on Red or Epic. Keep up the great work guys.

[grandpa it burns]

Cool? Awsome? Looks pretty make shift to me. Who was your production designer? Must have been a USC stand out. How can a company that comes out with such great looking products end up with a store that does not reflect the same high design standards? I'm unimpressed.

I'm with you Tail END. Why RED didn't follow the world-wide trend of completely boring sales floors is beyond me. They traded that wonderfully clean, sterile, smells like hospital and catheter bags feeling, for a over-the-top, industrial-military-tech feeling. Does that make sense to anyone here? I mean no normal person, in their right mind, could make any connection between this and RED's products. I have an idea, maybe you could come in at the "TAIL END" and give some of your obviously qualified advice on store creation. From all the posts so far, I think we can safely say that your qualified remarks are in the majority. I think RED could use some good advice on how to become industry leaders. Or... maybe TAIL END, needs to wake up and realize what the RED revolution is all about.

[KETCH ROSSi]

That's fantastic! Now open one up in Vegas!:)

Okay I'll stop by during my next trip to Riverside. Possibly bring some Tirami Su', hehe.

BTW. are the 16GB cards there yet? Still haven't got my two cards and need them for a upcoming shoot at the Treasure Island.

ciao

[Tim Lüdin]

Very cool shop. Please open one in Switzerland.
That would be killer.
OC is a bit to far away :biggrin:

Cheers
Tim

[Brook Willard]

Don't worry, grandpa... the coat hanger [etc.] is super badass and very undeniably RED.

[michael zaletel]

Sweet.

[Jeremy Hughes]

Dark store.

[Vince K]

Awesome!!
I will definitely make the trip out there once the snow flies. What better than to kill 2 birds with one stone and get a tan whilst checking out the new digs.
BTW...Winnipeg is right smack dab in the middle of Canada...maybe a Canadian store could be in the works?? :biggrin:

[shalom]

Congrats! I Google Earthed it. Bit of a hike from San Francisco. I look forward to more stores opening!

[Jarred Land]

Nice !

RED expands to Europe. Love it!

[Jarred Land]

[Jorge Díaz-Amador]

I wish this store had been open when I was there in August.

[Martin Weiss]

absolutely... that is the plan. Expect more details over the next couple days.

FANTASTICO!!!

[JorgeDeSilva]

WOW Great news... Great Store, i like the army style design! I hope Europe Store is open when scarlet goes out, It will be just amazing!

[Bruno Centofanti]

pretty cool!
we need one in London! :)

[Buck Forester]

Do you have any DSLR-killers in stock on the retail shelves? Heck, I'll even buy your working discarded Scarlet prototype off you. I called it first. Hold it for me, I'm on my way.

[Shawn Booth]

Went to the store, grabbed some new shirts and carbon fiber rods (these rule) - then I saw the wallpaper on the monitor.

Any chance you guys will share the skull with wings wallpaper?


Please?

[Vico Martin]

CONGRATS!

A question: can we paid via credit card from outside the store?

Credit card is a faster paid metod than webstore....:nerd:

[Brent@RED]

Yes, you can pay via credit card at the RED Store.

BC

[Zhibo Lai]

That's right, their first purchase was by my credit card.

Sorry, finally posting some 3.5 months overdue pics. Merry christmas everyone.
