The Olive Barn Outlet in Houston has closed. The last day of the sale was June 30, 2010. Customer pickup for web orders is no longer available. With the transition complete, Olivebarn.com is now focusing on sustainable gardening products.

Free Shipping Starts Today – Visit our Promo Page for details.

The Outlet is open today from 10am to 3pm. Take an extra 25% off all clearance items.

Olive Barn Outlet is now open on Wednesdays Only from 10am to 3pm through Dec 18th. Check back for more updates later this month.

Location: 12674 Goar Rd, Houston TX 77077
Website: www.olivebarn.com

We will reopen our retail store as a clearance outlet on Tuesday 11/3 at 10am. Our current plans are to keep this open until the remainder of the clearance items are sold. The Outlet will be open Tues – Fri 10am to 3pm until further notice.

We are exploring ways to serve our local customers by possibly having a walk-up counter service during the week. We’ll keep you posted as things unfold. Local customers can still pickup web orders without any shipping charges, by selecting “HOLD FOR CUSTOMER PICKUP” as their shipping method.

Shopping online is still the easiest way to buy green gifts at Olive Barn.

Thank you for your continued support!

This week, we made a decision to close our retail store in Houston and convert it to a temporary clearance outlet. It was the only physical retail store we had, which was adjacent to our Houston warehouse. With the current economic conditions, we felt is was best to focus on our core business, selling on the web. That part of our business accounts for 90% of our sales, yet we were spending about 40% of our time attending to the Houston store. Simple math. Take the 40% of the time and plow it back into growing our ecommerce business.

Over the next week we will be liquidating the remainder of inventory from our Houston store that was not part of our web offerings. If you are in Houston, please sign up on our mailing list for the local mailings, to find out about dates and times for the outlet clearance sale.

You can sign up here. There will be some incredible buys.

To our previous store customers, we thank you for your past patronage and encourage you to shop online at www.olivebarn.com. We will continue to offer free customer pickup at our old store location.

Patti Moreno, the Garden Girl will be at Olive Barn on Sunday October 18th from 1PM to 3PM. Come out an meet her in person. She’ll be signing her DVD’s and talking about how you can use raised beds to grow veggies for you and your family. To learn more about Patti, visit her website and watch her free how-to-videos online.

Please RSVP for the free event, so we can plan accordingly. Questions? Please call 281-589-1921 x 209. See you there!

Thank you,
