Visiting Pilot Pens Fountain Pen Factory in Hiratsuka

Visiting Pilot Pens Fountain Pen Factory in Hiratsuka

As a small business owner, there’s sometimes a limited extent to which you want to demonstrate how the sausage is made. Do people really need to know that the lights in your pen display are held together with washi tape?* Is it really a good look to share that you found some shop display furniture on the side of the street and you had to guard it while you called someone from the team in the shop to come out and find you half a block away to help you carry it back? It could go either way.

A Visit From Pilot: Japan's Pilot Corporation Visits Wonder Pens

Crazy! I know!! You may remember last year we were thrilled to have VP of Crestar, Pilot's Canadian distributor, come and visit our shop. Robert laughed at Caleb and told us some funny stories and we were all warmed through and through.

A Visit from Pilot

It's no secret that I love when our distributors or manufacturers come for a visit. They get to check out the shop, we get to chat a bit, but of course, my favourite part is that usually come with some treats!
