Online Business Inspires College Town Store

Auburn, Ala. - AuburnArt.com, the leading provider of Auburn related online artwork including; prints, photos, paintings, blown glass, jewelry and pottery, announces the opening of its first retail location, Thursday, Aug. 30, 2007.

Located next to Toomer’s Drugs at the famed intersection of College Street and Magnolia Avenue (Toomers Corner), AuburnArt.com gives Tiger fans the ability to purchase “online” products in town while visiting during game weekends. Some of Auburn ’s most memorable moments captured through prints and photos will be available. Exclusive and one-of-a-kind pieces, not found online, will also be available in the new AuburnArt.com location.

“By beginning online we were able to test different products at a very low cost,” said Frank Brown, co-owner and founder of AuburnArt.com. “There were not enough products to fill a store when we started AuburnArt.com in 2001. The synergy between the ‘click and mortar’ business model allows us to cover a much larger geographic region while at the same time servicing our local clientele.”

Custom framed pieces are a distinctive feature of AuburnArt.com. Each print or photo is custom framed in our gallery and frame shop, The Villager, a 35-year-old business, located in the heart of Auburn . Customers can take pride in knowing that their new Auburn piece is constructed by Auburn men and women. A choice of size, mat color and wood grain allow customers to make their new Auburn print or photo compliment any decorating theme for the home, office, apartment or game condo.

“The amount of Auburn prints, photos and exclusive Auburn items is second-to-none,” Brown said. “Auburn fans will get a chance to view our items ‘gallery style’ instead of what they have been accustomed to.”
