Story at 11…
Yes, the Boston Sunday Magazine published an article on the beloved Sun Jar and we sold out in one day. We’re working on getting a WHOLE BUNCH more and should have them in stock within 10 days. If not sooner…
If you want to reserve a Sun Jar (or two), please email jono@grandthestore.com and we’ll put your name on the waiting list. As soon as they come in we’ll email you and you can either pick up or we’ll ship it to you. Remember, they’re $40 each and great inside or outdoors! Oh and they come in blue as well as the yellow pictured.
It’s gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiney day…

We’re very, very, very excited to announce that Grand will be hosting a movie night on the parking lot side of our building on the evening of August 9th. Can you handle it?
Bring your bad self, friends, and family (and chairs!) and enjoy the beauty of watching a movie under the stars! This will be a fun time to not only catch a movie, but meet other folks and check out what’s new at Grand.
We’re letting you know now so you can clear up your busy summer calendar.
More details to follow!

It seems every week brings a new table into Grand. Come by to check out these gems.
Nerve Action Cable Table
Designed by local designer Jeff Beene of Nerve Action. Created for the nomadic lifestyle of modern apartment dwellers: it packs flat, but is dead simple to assemble. Made of Baltic birch, machined steel, and bicycle cables.
Umbra Natural Magtable
Solid wood coffee table with slots in the surface for magazines. Your pile of magazines on the floor will thank you!
Umbra Mimosa Side table with storage
Part of an innovative collection made from sustainable acacia wood that introduces form and function into any space. This side table with integrated magazine rack suits any style.
And last but not least, the Flip Top Birch Coffee Tables
Here’s your chance to own two tables in one!
Inspired by Austin, TX’s endearing East neighborhoods and the unique organic structure of succulents that are rather common in the city.
The tabletop is screenprinted on both sides and will easily lift and flip. Table is completely hand-crafted. LIMITED EDITION by Austin’s own Jennifer James Wright. Birch plywood.
We also have three one of a kind tables from San Francisco designer Anand Gowda of Gravy Service. These are so secret we can’t even show them!
Gravy Service Plyboo Large and Small Table/Bench with epoxy inlay
Designed by San Francisco designer Anand Gowda of Gravy Service. Both tables are reversible to provide the option of plain wood.
Gravy Service Palm Ply Table/Bench with epoxy inlay
Designed by San Francisco designer Anand Gowda of Gravy Service. Table is reversible to provide the option of plain wood
Now, you can go to those big chainy type stores that continue to produce the absolute worst TV commercials ever to get a new little table, OR you can come to Grand to get a table made JUST for YOU. The choice seems easy to me.
Some of these are very, very limited so if you see something you like, come on by.
PS – YES we’re opening the web store soon!

In observance of the 232nd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence (ie. July 4th), Grand will be closed.
We’ll reopen first thing on Saturday in celebration of the 232nd anniversary of the day after July 4th 1776, July 5th 1776. One would assume that something was going on the day after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Right?
And we can’t think of a better time than this weekend to come check out Grand. Here are just a few reasons…
Reason #1
The price of gas is insane-o in the membrane-o. Why fill up your tank and go away when you live in the city that defines the July 4th season?
Check this out. This is the price of gas over the past year. Yikes! Stay here and walk, bike, or take public transportation to Grand. Your planet will thank you.
Reason #2
We have sooooo much new stuff for you to check out, from Loyalty & Blood clothing to these super cool eco-friendly candles from Paddywax that smell AMAZING. A to the MAZING! These are just two examples of the many new things coming in daily.
Reason #3
The weather this holiday weekend is supposed to be pretty great. Going back to Reason #1, it’s gonna be perfect for strolling about our fair city. Come to Union Sq and see everything new.
