Anyone In Cali Near HQ?

Can just anyone get into the O factory store? Do they offer discounted pricing?

It's not a factory store, it's an O store that is in the lobby of the building and the public is welcome. No discounts other that whatever sale they are running in all the O stores.

But there is a walk up warranty window in the lobby also.

What retina burn said, it's just a regular O Store that is welcome to the public.

Discounted priced merchandise is available in the employee store, but obviously you have to be an employee to shop there and on certain days haha.

Oh- so there's two stores in the HQ? A regular (apparently mini) O Store, and a separate Employee-Only O Store? Interesting.
 
There are technically three stores in the main lobby. The mens store, womens store, and the custom counter. Four if you count the walk in warranty.

As for the employee store, it's in another area of the building that's restricted. You can't even get into or see the employee store without an employee escorting you.
 
Ohhhhhh, I see. I get that employee store is out-of-this-world!!! Anyone gotten to see it? Is it just free, come in and sign for whatever you want for free or payroll deduction? (I'm'a gonna check the job classifieds for Oakley factory positions!)
 
As far as I know, and don't know what's to be shared and what's not, but they have to pay for things JUST like any other employee at any other store would have to. I don't think anyone here has seen it personally and there are no pictures of it. It's really not that great I don't think.
 
If it's not that great, why have a separate one for employees. There must be *some*thing about it special. Advanced release on pending products? Super low prices, cache stock of discontinued, no-longer-available products and editions? SOMEthing??? It has my curiosity way up, lol!
 
I believe it's the employee discount for the most part. Also the benefit of having a store onsite for employees. I'm sure they get a few deals on discontinued items, but if you read the forum you'll see a lot guys getting deals at the Vault stores too. Which would indicate that not all the good stuff goes to the employees. I have worked at a few large companies that had employee only stores, both online and walk-in, so it's not all that uncommon.

Wayyy offfff...most of the discounted stuff is the sh*t no one bought in the stores. For example, the acid series was in there about a month or two ago for $25 a pair. It's also not something to lose sleep over. lol
