Re: San Francisco CCO Update
I wonder if tomorrow is their "official grand opening" where an "invite" is needed to get in. Then after tomorrow, it's open to the public again!?
I was talking to my boss (who is a business owner) about my depressing day b/c of the SF CCO, and she had said that they ususally do that for grand opening parties. That's my hope! lol

Re: San Francisco CCO Update
^^ sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the "invite only" is on the door...not a sign, but physically on the door....apparently, starting tomorrow will be the invite only from then on. They grilled my friends when they went in asking what company they work for....just today they let them slide but if your company is not on their list, you can't buy

Re: San Francisco CCO Update
Has anyone confirmed that this is now an 'invite-only' deal? I'm thinking of taking a trip dow there this week...
Also, does anyone know who/what companies are on the list? I work for a brokerage firm headquartered in the city so I want to know if my company is already on the list or not....

Re: San Francisco CCO Update
This is just very strange to me. Why wouldn't they open this up to the public like the other CCO's and they can sell a ton? Seems like a backward retail strategy to me.
Perhaps the invite only thing is temporary and they will open it up soon. Otherwise it seems like a waste and would potentially lose money for them.
JMO!

Supposedly the companies on the list are the ones that work at Embarcadero center. They may make an exception for your company but you have to fax them a letterhead...not sure if they are still doing/accepting this but I would call first.
I really am hoping that it's open to the public....

Re: San Francisco CCO Update
Any updates on this? My company is about 5 blocks down Market from the Embarcadero, I wonder if this is close enough to get on the list. I know I can fax something on letterhead. I'll update when I find out more.

Re: making a trip to san francisco, whats the closest cco?
Napa is usually fairly decent too and it's larger than the Vacaville store. I've been able to find some Quads there and several hard to find pigments and eyeshadows. Vacaville usually has a great selection too, but it is small.

Re: San Francisco CCO Update
UPDATE: So I just called them and talked to a lady named Diane..
This is the deal...it will NOT be open to the public...It IS by invitation for Embarcadero employees only. For companies in the vicinity, they need an HR contact to fax them the number of invites needed on company letterhead. Diane and company would then review and approve the submission. If the 'application' is approved then.....
!!!!!!! !!!!
Dang, it's almost like applying for a license...lol
HTH!

Thanks for the details.
I think SF's CCO's BS is complete crap!
Do they really think they will make more business if it only caters to local offices. I have business people who come into my office (I work for a doc) and they rarely can come in b/c they are so busy with work.
But yet again, those people who work in the Embarcadero offices can give the invite to a friend, family member or client-- but that's the same thing as a non-invite person to come in.
I wish the SF CCO manager (or whoever runs that store) reads this theard. lol, I hope it makes them feel stupid as a business owner.

If I have known about this sooner, I would have went before they made it invite only. It so suck that its not even open to the public. They will make more money that way.
