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.

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.

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