Actually, Artist & Display in Milwaukee, WI is the ORIGINAL STABILO mega-store in the US! About a year ago they put up a giant STABILO "Planet 3000" display - a huge STABILO red structure that almost looks like a playground set of some sort, except it houses all kinds of STABILO products.
Owners Jack and Lynn Klein and creative director Nora Hackenberg (Lynn and Nora are pictured above with their staff in custom Point 88 t-shirts in front of the display) have been STABILO lovers and supporters for some time now, and were really excited to be the first store in the United States to have this mega-display. To celebrate the new display, last October they held "STABILOfest" - a month of creative and fun activities revolving around STABILO products. Some of the highlights from the events included the making of STABILO shrinky-dink people, a giant mosaic made out of 843 pieces of paper squares, and even school kids singing a special STABILO song they wrote! Lynn and Nora have even been known to make STABILO jewelery.
Artist & Display even made a video for Youtube chronicling all the STABILOfest activities, which you check out with this link;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYQObncdpCY
A year later, STABILO is still going strong in their store - they offer a ton products like Point 88, Point Visco, Pen 68, CarbOthello, the GREENlighter dry highlighters, the GREENcolors & GREENgraph pencils, Bionic Worker pens, ALL STABILO pencils, Sensor pens, Easy Ergo pencils, Woody pencils, and much more!
