Carpet Monster Hobbies ???

[denders]

Anyone know anything about Carpet Monster Hobbies? They say they're located in Northern Virginia but there's no physical address listed or phone number in their "about us" section.

 

The thing that caught my eye is that they list MRP paints.

 

And I guess, "ready for pickup" means in stock.

Never heard of them.

Great name though!

I just saw a post on FB where Carpet Monster Hobbies has opened a brick-and-mortar store in Berryville, VA. And their web site now lists all that information. The next time I travel up on I81, I'll have to make a stop. As soon as I mentioned the town name, my wife knew exactly where the town is located. And as mentioned above, they seem to carry MRP.

Would a store named “Carpet Monsters” predispose it to be hard to find?  i hope that the store has all their product out, lights on and easy to buy.

I did jest a bit but we need local hobby shops.

I just ran a google search, came right up with them. Shows a photo sequence of the outside and inside of the shop, address, phone number, hours, everything. The website link goes to the store website, all looks legit.

Yes, it does now. When I saw things on FB back in October, none of that information was on their website. And my assumption from a recent FB post, they recently opened the physical location. I do plan on stopping by on our next venture up I81 if the timing is right, as in they are open when we are in the Winchester, VA area along I81. Berryville is east of Winchester.
