RPI Designs Burns to the Ground

Nate GM · 05-04-2014, 01:59 PM

In case you have not heard, RPI Designs had a fire yesterday that burned most of their store to the ground. All of their fiberglass parts were lost in the fire and they are currently attempting to rebuild molds. However, the good news is that they have off-site backup molds for some of their products, and all other non fiberglass parts will not be effected by the fire.

I bring this to your attention because RPI is a large seller of C7 parts and accessories and they are a small business that is completely owned and operated in America. I have done business with them many times and have always been very impressed with their company. Hopefully they will be able to quickly bounce back from this incident and get their entire business up and running again.

Here are some pictures as well as links to their website and Facebook account.

Ahhh this sucks! I've also bought lots of parts from them.

Hope they get back on their feet quickly!!

The company I work for had a fire in mid-November. About 50% of our building was lost. We're still in a temporary location due to the inevitable haggling forced upon us by the insurance companies. I sincerely hope RPI can fight through the red tape and get set back up quicker than we have!

Real bad break for RPI. Josh and the crew will get back on track. Best of luck to them.
