A STAPLE OF THE DOWNTOWN SAN LUIS OBISPO COMMUNITY SINCE 1985, COSTUME CAPERS HAS MOVED TO A BIGGER AND BETTER LOCATION
Costume Capers, Downtown SLO?s local costume retail and rental shop, has packed up and is moving out of their Chorro Street location after 23 years. Their new store will be located at 2146 Parker St. #C-2, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
?This is such a great opportunity for us,? said Costume Capers? co-owner Keith Wetzel. ?We are moving into a great new location with more space which will allow us to feature more of our stock as well as enable us to install a conveyor system to hang all of our rental costumes.?
Costume Capers? new home will feature a state-of-the-art revolving conveyor system which will make it easier to sort through the shop?s thousands of costume rentals. ?It?s really an amazing set-up,? said Costume Capers? employee Erik Austin. ?Renting costumes will now be a much easier and faster process?and the costumes are flying through the air!?
Closing its Chorro Street doors officially on Aug. 15th, Costume Capers will be operating their new store on Parker Street with limited business hours until their grand re-opening in early October, just in time for the busy Halloween season. Extended Halloween business hours will go into effect October 1st, 2008.
Many retailers in the Downtown area have been switching locations or moving out of Downtown due to earthquake retrofitting and seismic concerns. ?Even though we hate leaving Downtown, it is time for that building to be retrofitted,? said co-owner Debbie Hernandez. ?We hope all our loyal customers will follow us to our new location and discover a whole new Costume Capers.?
Same folks, same great service, same phone number and same amazing inventory. Costume Capers: 2146 Parker St. #C-2, San Luis Obispo. 805.544.2373.
