Bandit Lites Overhauls Nashville Shop with Expansion

ETNow.com: Bandit Lites Nashville shop has always been one of the industry’s busiest hubs for concert lighting prep and technical support, and now the space is in the process of a complete transformation with an expansion that encompasses the entire building and multiple departments.

With a new suite of offices for the sales team, a new technical service division shop and a prep floor area growing from 18,000 square feet to 44,000, the expanded shop will be better equipped to handle Bandit’s business including world tours, corporate events, festivals and system installations.

This sounds like a really amazing renovation, I’m just kind of confused as to how they are able to afford it in this market right now. With no money coming in and out of the company as all rentals have most likely been cancelled it seems unlikely to me that they are in a good place economically. It seems like a really amazing and probably revolutionary expansion of their company, though. Also, they could have had money saved for this, or maybe the project started before all shows were canceled, so there is that too. It seems like a really great opportunity for the employees to have a better working environment with updated kitchens, lighting, and HVAC systems. This overall improves the quality of the space and I am sure the workers at Bandit deserve this. This time also seems like a great opportunity to get some construction done quickly so that when workers need to return they will have their shop ready.
