The Stain Store Austin moved into its new digs for the two usual reasons: location and expansion. 3,500-square-foot location is in a nicer part of town, says owner Eric Hamlin, and contains more warehouse space, allowing the construction wholesale outlet to stock more inventory. The new facility also includes a showroom and tool room with overlaid and stained flooring. The Austin branch is managed by Eric’s brother Mark. Eric also owns the original Stain Store in San Antonio.
