This morning, fellow metroblogger Carolyn and I found ourselves in volunteer training for the soon-to-be-opening Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. The store is the front for our own 826, and my friends, it’s going to be fantastic.

I’m sure that you yourself have been stumped on where to replenish your zero gravity toiletries or robot repair kits. Just the other day I was stuck in the far reaches of space without a spare warp drive, eating the last freeze-dried chicken dinner. The need for a space travel supply store in our fine city has been recognized, and the void will be filled starting Friday.

The grand opening of the space will be on Saturday, December 3 from noon - 6 pm. There will almost certainly be all sorts of unabashedly cool famous people there, as well as nicely dressed folk from other dimensions. From the flyer:

“Do you like traveling? Do you like exploring distant locales? Do you like proving to others that the unknown tends to be exaggerated in importance or difficulty? This is the grand opening for you.”

Seriously, folks, this store is shaping up to be one of the coolest places in the city. Kids coming to be tutored will enter the tutoring space in the back via the Atomic Teleporter. All of the profit from the retail space gets funneled right back into supporting 826 Seattle, which is helping more and more kids each day. This is good stuff, and right in time for some holiday warm fuzzies.

Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. is located at 8414 Greenwood Avenue N. It officially opens its doors on the 25th, and its operating hours for the time being will be roughly from 12-7.
