Grand Stage to Relocate Operations and Host "Grand-est Garage Sale Ever"

Grand Stage announces that after almost 50 years on Lake Street, they are moving into two new locations to better serve their customers. Beginning late this summer, their main operations, including rentals, fabrication, and sewing shops will be located in an expanded warehouse at 3418 N Knox Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60641. And, a new sales specific storefront specializing in gel, paint, tape, gobo, and makeup will be located at 1319 W Grand Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60642. Grand Stage will continue to maintain one of the largest Chicago-based selection of in-stock consumable products from such brands as Apollo Design Technology, Altman, City Theatrical, Chauvet Professional, Elation Professional, Philips Entertainment, and Rosco. But now with two convenient locations.

As part of the relocation process, the company will be hosting the "Grand-est Garage Sale Ever." In an effort to sell it -- not move it -- Grand Stage will be offering for sale used, demo, and overstock equipment in addition to deep discounts on paint, make-up, and gel. Items planned for the garage sale include: conventional and moving lights, cut fabrics, draperies, ropes and handlines, rigging equipment, parts, and fixture accessories.

Dennis Carl, Grand Stage sales manager says "This is the perfect opportunity for theatre companies, schools, and other performing troops to supplement their inventory before the start of a new season. No reasonable offer will be refused."

The "Grand-est Garage Sale Ever" will take place at their current location, 630 W Lake Street, Chicago, Ilinois 60661, beginning on Thursday, August 13, at 10:00am, and running during normal business hours through 1:00pm on Saturday, August 15. A portion of all sales at the "Grand-est Garage Sale Ever" will be donated to PLASA Foundation's Behind the Scene's charity which provides assistance to those in need within the entertainment industry and their families.
