Ahoy, fellow adventurers! The Grumpy Whale is delighted to announce the grand opening of our very own store in downtown Reykjavik, nestled on the vibrant Skólavörðustígur, the rainbow road that leads to the iconic church, Hallsgrimskikja. In this celebratory post, join us as we take you on a journey behind the scenes, from the initial strokes of paint to the final touches of window decor, all in preparation for your visit to The Grumpy Whale store.
Setting Sail: The Canvas of Skólavörðustígur
Our story begins with the canvas of Skólavörðustígur, a lively street adorned with colors that lead the way to the grand church. As we set foot into our new space, the need for a fresh coat of paint was evident. The Grumpy Whale’s personality is vibrant and unique, so we embarked on transforming the walls to reflect the charm that defines our brand.
Green Choices: Second-Hand Furniture from Góði Hirðirinn
Being stewards of the environment is a part of The Grumpy Whale’s ethos. As we embarked on furnishing our space, we sought to keep our environmental impact low. Cue the entrance of Góði Hirðirinn, the second-hand store that became our treasure trove. Each piece of furniture tells a story, not just of its previous life but of our commitment to sustainable choices.
The Thrill of Transformation: From Empty Space to Grumpy Haven
With the paint drying and the furniture in place, the transformation of our space was underway. As we carefully arranged each piece, the Grumpy Whale’s world began to take shape. The store, once an empty canvas, was now a haven awaiting the touch of Grumpy-approved magic.
