In May 2010, Shag the Store opened in Palm Springs dedicated solely to the work of Shag, including paintings, prints, books, and other merchandise. The store is located at 725 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, California 92262. The Palm Springs Shag Store is open Monday to Thursday from 10am until 5pm, and Friday to Sunday from 10am until 8pm. The Shag Store Palm Springs Facebook page is the best source of updates, the Shag Stores Palm Springs Instagram feed is popular and the Shag Store Palm Springs Twitter feed is still active.

A great logo,
with a flyer for the store,
and a great sign.
And a Cherry Capri sculpture,
in beautiful pristine white,
actually, orange would be better.
Even the signage is cool,
Shag themed,
and photo worthy.
And the inside,

is chic mid-century modern,
with a totally shagtastic Jacobsen swan chair.
Even at night,
the Palm Springs store is cool,
and oh so pretty.

with advice above the door.
A relaxing Shag.

and many more…
even in the window display

Jay and MiShell spent four months renovating a former tile showroom in trendy Melrose Avenue to provide a second outlet stocking Shag’s work. The second Shag the Store opened on the 7th November, 2015 with a strong mid-century modern interior style. The store is located at 8443 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, California 90069. The West Hollywood Shag Store is open on Saturday and Sunday from 11am until 6pm. The second store has its own Shag Store West Hollywood Facebook page, a Shag Store West Hollywood Instagram feed, and a Shag Store Palm Springs Twitter feed. Sadly, the West Hollywood store closed in 2020.
An initial teaser,

and preparations begin,
a mural is painted to lead you in,
and an artist impression explains all,
the opening invite is issued,
and the store is finally open.
A stylish interior, with a sculptural
end divider and at the room end,
advice duplicated from the PS store.
A beautiful Poul Volther corona chair,
and again from another angle,
and a wider shot.

and having a rest,
after some light work.

    I heard there will be a second VIP event at the LA store for Jay and Silent Bob vs. Time and Space in March. Any idea what that date will be?

    Thanks,
