First Ever, Ice Breaking Blog Post

5-0-Lou’s expansion from a retailer of local artisan goods to 5-0-Lou Small Batch Printing had been planned. We bought our new location in December 2019 expecting to set up our print shop, which was requiring more space and a new showroom displaying the many different types usable goods that are printable. Then smack! The slow and steady transition train was stopped in its tracks by the unexpected arrival of COVID-19.


But we are resilient! Yes we did have to step away from our Frankfort Avenue location and we will miss the visits by Clifton locals and their dogs but, we are thrilled to have a place of our own where we have room to create usable, quality goods for our customers.


We now have a small combined showroom/shop and a floor and a half of print shop at 1235 East Oak Street, one block off Barret Avenue directly behind the Paristown/Germantown Park. In addition, we also have a sales booth three blocks away at Fleur di Flea Urban Vintage Market at the corner of Swan Street and Breckinridge where we offer our 5-0-Lou products and other local artisan favorites. “The Fleur” is open Thursday through Sunday 11AM to 6PM.


We invite all our former (and new) customers to feel free to stop by for a tour anytime. We would love to see you!
