Griot's in Tacoma Moving

I stopped off at Griot's in Tacoma the other day to buy a few things, and one of the guys there mentioned that they're moving to a location near the Tacoma Mall. Apparently, they're creating a headquarters that will house a retail outlet and a car museum. They also plan on doing car shows there periodically.

Griot's is hosting a buy one, get one free kart racing day at PGP raceway in Kent. I believe the date is November 8th: www.PACIFICGP.com

I wish they'd ship from that location. Why are so few places on the west coast?

That does seem like they are a bit full of themselves. Probably there to keep everyone from wanting to be a dealer just to sell a couple bottles a month. It would seem more reasonable though to have a required amount of product for your first stocking order from them. I wouldn't mind cherry picking a few of their top products to sell (I actually manage a car item related website which ships enough every day that adding a couple dozen more boxes a day wouldn't faze us) but wouldn't want to have to stock the entire line or pay that much upfront for the privilege.
