Bitcoin Miner Distributor BlokForge Opens First US Retail LocationMESA, Ariz., March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BlokForge (www.blokforge.com), one the nation's largest suppliers of cryptocurrency mining hardware, is announcing the grand opening of its 2,000 sq. ft. retail location in Mesa, Arizona. The new store will carry over 20 product SKUs from the largest brands in the world such as Canaan Creative. The U.S.-based retail location represents a physical presence and is the first to do so stateside. BlokForge will be offering sales, repair, and consulting, along with classes by the end of the year. Despite being a relatively new entrant to the mining supply space, BlokForge is unique in that it originated as an import-export company with over 20 years of experience sourcing hardware from overseas manufacturers before segueing into cryptocurrency mining hardware. The U.S.-based company has grown quickly, expanding to its current 100,000 sq ft. warehouse. Formerly the site of Sunkist Citrus Growers, it was acquired by BlokForge's parent company in February of 2015 and redesigned by Arizona architect Debartolo Architects in an effort to preserve the historical significance of the building, while making it fully functional for the growing needs of the supplier. Founder, Nick J. added, "We chose this building in particular due to Mesa, Arizona's commitment to bring innovation and startups to their downtown area. Reprposing a building that served this community for nearly 100 years just made sense." The company's rapid pace of growth is a testament to its long-standing experience in sourcing, fulfillment and distribution. "We have a really strong team with a ton of experience in supply chain logistics. A lot of our competitors sell online but do not have a physical retail space to call home. Our operation is specialized to support the growing needs of hobbyist and home miners, while robust enough to supply large-scale mining operations with large orders. Our strong partnership with our suppliers ensure we have the fastest delivery times out of the U.S.," says Nick. He further added, "Our company feels bitcoin and blockchain technology are the future and we are excited to be an integral part in the growth of it." The company offers to its thousands of customers, the peace-of-mind of a direct U.S. presence, foregoing the need to deal with a foreign intermediary, and the customs paperwork that often comes with it. It also boasts a fully stocked warehouse for fast order fulfillment, and can fulfill orders as small as one machine, or 10,000. The company employs a locally-based, dedicated customer service team with chat and phone support. The company's location is no accident. The Arizona Senate passed a bill recently that would allow residents to pay their taxes using Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Representative Jeff Weninger who has sponsored similar bills in the past is "sending a signal to everyone in the United States and possibly throughout the world that Arizona is going to be the place to be for blockchain and digital currency technology in the future." BlokForge is currently the largest authorized distribution hub for Canaan Avalon miners in the U.S. The company plans to launch a second retail location soon.
