Thought some folks might like to see some pics of the store at the Mothership before they move. Actually I'm not sure if the store is moving or just the corporate folks. These pics were taken during my visit there in May.
The front entrance & cooking patio (where they had a few Eggs and a little cooking going on the XL)
As you enter the store you'll find the current lineup of the 6 sizes:
This sequence of pics starts with the wall behind the Egg lineup and then turns to the right.
Eggs, covers, and clothing
Egg components and the start of the front counter:
The rest of the counter
Lots of table options
Smoke wood, planks, cooking grids
Lots of Eggcessories
Rubs, cookbooks, & sittin' chicken stands
The XXL is pretty impressive with a heavy duty stainless cooking grid (I think made from 3/8" diameter bar). The chicken stand was placed there for a size reference.
Their Mini Max prototype was not on the floor but they had one that I was allowed to see. Eggzilla took too much space in the store and had been relegated to the warehouse. I was fortunate to see it but was told photos were not allowed in back. The cooking grate is so heavy if is actually crushing some of the styrofoam supports holding it.
And to help put a face to a name, Bruce Bohannon, the name always mentioned for customer service and warranty approvals was kind enough to come down and take a pic with me and the XXL:
Everyone that I was able to talk with at the Mothership was incredibly friendly. The guys in the store are fanatical about the Eggs and I had a great time chatting with them.

They're moving a few miles away. I think Norcross but I didn't ask for specifics. They've outgrown the Tucker location.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

@bweekes - As of 5/20, they didn't have a release date but were hopeful for a release in June. Sounded like they were waiting on production to start. Some folks here have been hearing late July-early Aug for the release.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

I stopped by there on my way back home from Braves game. The people were super nice and it was a good time. It was a Saturday so they were super busy. They had 4 or 5 larges out on the deck with lots of good stuff cooking . Definitely a cool place to stop by if your in the area.Father of 3 - Husband-Teacher- golfer- and Egger 2 Large

Holy heck, that looks like it would be awesome fun, although I'd probably spend $500 before I walked out of there!

Nice pix, @R2Egg2Q ! I've never been there. I wanna make a road trip!

First off let me introduce myself. My name is Randy and I'm still working toward my first egg. Had to dip in the egg money for another project but momma says were almost back to the break even point. Anyways, I work right up the street from the mothership and where I work, we haul a lot of loads for BGE. I do not belive they are moving the retail location, only the warehousing. They have a place about 5 miles away that is HUGE with more eggs than you can shake a stick at. Weve had a great relationship with them ever since they opened here and have enjoyed watching them grow. Quite a few of the guys I work with own there own BGE and have made it sound so good that I will finally take the plunge and spend the retirement fund to get one. Cant wait to get started,
