The City of Palmdale welcomed a new addition to its business circle yesterday, as .308 Industries inaugurated its first physical store at 40033 10th St. W, Suite C. Known formerly as an online retailer, the company's expansion showcases the city's amicable business climate.

In the grand opening, Councilmember Austin Bishop was a significant presence and honored the store owners with a certificate of recognition. As per the City of Palmdale's Facebook post, the event aimed to highlight .308 Industries' wide assortment of tactical gear, outdoor sporting goods, and apparel – appealing to the diverse tastes of the city's residents.

Despite the widespread expansion of e-commerce, .308 Industries' daring leap to open a physical store is commendable. Experts in the business have observed that brick-and-mortar stores offer an enriching shopping experience that might be lacking online. 

The store will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
