If you have been following the real estate news for Sunnyvale you know that Google purchased a large amount of real estate in the area including the building we have been leasing for the past 22 years. We have been asked to vacate the building as soon as possible, and in order to accomplish that task we are selling our inventory and many of our assets to Outback Equipment of Morgan Hill. The transfer of inventory and assets will take place on April 9, 2018; at that time Weirdstuff Warehouse will cease to do business. Even though Weirdstuff is closing we will retain ownership of the Corporation, trademark, and domain names. We hope to handle these entities and wind down the corporation before year end. Many of you have been loyal customers for many years, and we have enjoyed working with you. We thank you for your loyalty and business. For more information, check out our website after Monday, April 9, 2018. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- I spent most of yesterday (Friday) hanging out at Weirdstuff. NBC News interviewed WS management and myself about the closing. NBC showed up because of the "trend" of Bay Area tweets about the closure. Needless to say, the WS store was packed with sad faces about the closing. Not one good word about Google, who is buying up all the land they can and wiping out small businesses with disregard.
