Storm Damage


Here is just a few of the reasons Soap Warehouse was out of power, phones and Internet from Monday April 13th around 10:15 AM until Wednesday at 6:30 AM.





I am sure all of you know how frustrating it can be when things beyond your control come crashing into your life. Atlanta is a beautiful city and is not called the city of trees for nothing, but it can have it's downside.
Our Warehouse and office are located in an small office park that backs up to a huge golf course and Old home neighborhood in Dekalb Co. We had crews working on a main side road for over 24 hours practically moving only 20-30 feet at a time restoring the downed lines to get our small area back up. With the major drought followed by this month of heavy rain and the new leaves just coming out catching the strong winds, all these reasons together made Monday's thunderstorm look like we had a tornado come through here.
We appreciate every ones understanding and patience in allowing us time to get back to being able to receive and fill orders. And for the few customers that were worried when we did not answer our phone, fax or e-mails until I got home Tuesday night and was able to retrieve them off site and answer them, thank you for your concern.

With this delay our new website should be up by early next week and I will be sure to let everyone know when that event takes place.
Thanks again and everyone take care.
