Ahh... am I missing something? What is sugru?

sugru’s very first retailer! the Design Museum Shop

Filed under: sugru news

It’s a big day for sugru!
From today, you can buy sugru not only from us here at sugru.com but also from the Design Museum shop in London. We’re absolutely chuffed to be working with the lovely team at the shop, and we’re particularly heartened because they already use sugru! When I popped by earlier to chat and take this picture, Alice let me know that she has already hacked her bike lights and the office scissors :)

Here at sugru.com is a great place to buy sugru, because you can connect with us and the other hackers and repairers in the sugru community, as well as get support, inspiration and tips for new ideas or techniques.
But not everyone will find sugru here, so that’s where great independent retailers (such as the Design Museum Shop) come in! …the kind that understand their customers needs, help them out and introduce them to new things.

If you work in such a special shop or know a shop owner like this whose customers you think need sugru, then we’d love to hear from you!
We’re looking for a select number of retailers initially, from all kinds of communities and market sectors, who have a shared passion for repairing and hacking and who can work with us to reach new communities. We’re excited to work with all kinds of shops – from computer repair shops to bike shops to homeware stores, outdoor or farm suppliers – whatever! If that sounds like you, or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you. Initially we will be working with retailers here in the UK and Ireland, and working towards growing internationally early next year.

We are so excited to meet and work with more people like the team at the Design Museum, and here’s to the first of many shop launches !!

Very good!!!

The Design Museum Shop looks cool and I hope more retailers approach you to make your network stronger.

I am excited for this growth.  I see the possibility in the future for me to be able to walk into any hardware store and buy Sugru.

Excellent! 
If you’re looking for somewhere to start in the U.S. check out SCAD it’s an Art and Design school I go to, we’ve had people come in and talk about Sugru before, and it would be interesting to walk into our bookstore and purchase some especially with the type of student population we have.
