Portland Store Fixtures – Propping Up The Film & TV Industry

12132572_10153947139916874_6298689688665635448_oMy company, Portland Store Fixtures, is exactly what it sounds like: we rent and sell store fixtures. (In Portland.) We stock mostly used so we have a lot of interesting oddities, but the basics of our business are shelving units, showcases, clothing racks, cash counters, mannequins, display forms – everything you need to make a store look like a store.

The majority of our revenue comes from selling fixtures to retail establishments, and most of our rentals are to clothiers, jewelry designers, and other retailers who just need a rack or a mannequin for a one-day event like a convention or a festival.

It was my love letter to my home, and it seemed other people liked it too. Continue reading... “State Parks “Road Sessions” Second Season to Premiere in June”
