Framebridge Opens New Retail Locations in California to Enhance Custom Framing Experience

Framebridge Expands to California

Framebridge, the renowned custom framing company, is taking significant steps to broaden its presence in California. Known for revolutionizing the framing industry, Framebridge has officially opened its first two stores in the Golden State on August 2nd, located in Palo Alto and Santa Monica. This marks the beginning of a new chapter as the brand continues to grow its footprint across the United States.

Founded in 2014 by Susan Tynan, Framebridge initially gained traction online before transitioning to physical retail spaces in 2019. With a commitment to making custom framing accessible and affordable, the brand has attracted a loyal customer base. The recent expansions in California highlight the state's vibrant culture and creative community, making it a perfect fit for Framebridge's vision.

The Palo Alto store is situated at 855 El Camino Real, while the Santa Monica store can be found at 1607 Montana Avenue. These new locations will not only cater to the existing demand for personalized framing solutions but will also introduce the brand's curated styles and premium materials to a wider audience.

Over the coming months, Framebridge plans to open four additional stores in California, extending its reach to Berkeley, Larchmont, West 3rd, and Studio City in October. This expansion contributes to a total of 38 retail locations across 15 states, reinforcing Framebridge's position as a leader in the custom framing space.

Susan Tynan, the founder and CEO of Framebridge, expressed her excitement about this expansion. "This is a huge milestone for Framebridge, and one we’ve been working toward since we opened our first store. California is one of our biggest markets, full of creativity, inspiration, and culture. We can’t wait to see what people will bring in to frame!"

To complement its retail presence, Framebridge has also established a new custom framing studio in Henderson, Nevada, measuring a substantial 37,000 square feet. This facility, which is the company’s fourth, joins existing studios in Richmond, Kentucky, and Winchester, Virginia. The strategic selection of Henderson enhances Framebridge's operational efficiency, ensuring high-quality service delivery to its California customers.

Framebridge is committed to owning its entire framing process, which allows the company to maintain strict quality control over materials, manufacturing methods, and design standards. All frame styles are crafted in-house by skilled artisans, either in Tuscany, Italy, or North Carolina.

The retail locations are not just about transactions; they also aim to strengthen community bonds. Each Framebridge store features a gallery wall dedicated to displaying local artists and celebrating the unique narratives of their neighborhoods. This initiative engages customers in a way that goes beyond mere retail.

To celebrate the grand opening of its California locations, Framebridge is hosting print giveaways. Customers in Palo Alto can receive an 8x10 print of the scenic Palo Alto Baylands by local artist Rebekah Laffoon, while customers in Santa Monica can take home an 8x10 print of the iconic Georgian Hotel by LA artist John Banh, available while supplies last.

For those interested in exploring custom framing solutions, Framebridge encourages visitors to stop by and browse frame styles while receiving personalized recommendations from expert designers at each location. More details about their services and store hours can be found on their website, Framebridge.com.

As Framebridge continues to evolve and expand, its core mission remains intact: to bring modern custom framing to everyone, making it easier than ever to preserve and display cherished memories. With a growing presence in California, the future looks promising for the brand and its customers alike.
