On July 21, 2015, The Hardware Store™ by Bi-Link officially opened its doors to the engineering community in San Diego, California.

Bi-Link chose San Diego as its second location due to its importance as a hub for development and innovation for technology companies, and its growing importance in the medical market segment.

Sarah Miller Caldicott, great-grandniece of Thomas Edison and author of Midnight Lunch joined Bi-Link for its official launch. She helped promote a unique feature of The Hardware Store™, the Midnight Lunch™ Lab, which fosters innovation and collaboration amongst engineers like Thomas Edison.

MakingChips, popular manufacturing podcast, recorded a live episode during the launch party. The hosts, Jim Carr of CARR Machine & Tool and Jason Zenger of ZENGERS Industrial Supply, interviewed attendees — including Sarah Miller Caldicott — throughout the evening.

Tim Higby, Bi-Link's Liaison Engineer, states, "San Diego, one of America's finest cities with all its diversity and rich history, provides the perfect backdrop for engineers and entrepreneurs to collaborate freely."

The Hardware Store™ is a technology-driven home built by engineers for engineers to push boundaries on design projects, access Bi-Link's latest technology to test proof of concept, and get a few parts fast!
