I think the only reason they did not open up for orders in the past was that it is a store that only opens during tours, and most of the folks who assist in there actually have other jobs. This is a great idea , but the past concern was that they would almost have to hire someone full time to just manage the store and shipping if it was open to regular orders. Can be brought up again , though , and see if there are any provisions.
There will be Plant tours in the future, but they would like to get things up and running smoothly and consistently prior to having factory pickups and group tours. Sure the new El Presidente , Lee Stubberfield, will announce these desirable options the minute CAAP gives a thumbs up!!!
