The early years

In 2007, W21 set up shop in the back room of a historic two-story, brick warehouse at 822 West 23rd Street in the West Edge of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Built in 1914, the building was originally Cheyenne Milling Co., Laramie County’s first flour mill. The building largely burnt to the ground in 1920. It was later rebuilt into the building that we know today in 1927.

Time well spent

We began renovating the warehouse in 2009, a labor of love that made this amazing historical building functional for today. That first initial room for W21 turned into two, which turned into a whole floor — and before we knew it, we had filled the entire building to accommodate our growing team.

Our new building

In October 2019, we opened a new facility on Cheyenne’s West Edge. We believe the space we work in sets the tone for creativity and collaboration, so we designed this facility to be the perfect blend of art meeting function with murals, forklifts, stunning architecture, table saws, and more. In 2020 we moved all operations into this new space. It is now the hub for everything we concept, strategize, design, write, source, engineer, construct, assemble, print, and produce.

This place matters to us and our people. From this building, looking over the park, our team is handing out some seriously good vibes while getting shit done.

We want to be something for the community, to set the passion for what this area can become and then make it happen.

A (Ware)house warming party

A couple months ago we hosted an open house for our new production facility. Safe to say, we’re still riding the high of sharing our new space with the Cheyenne community, and during this season that is all about being thankful and appreciating loved ones, we can’t help but reflect on what it meant to us.

Here's Johnny!

If you’re ever hanging around the Warehouse and hear someone drop a movie line, chances are it’s our dude, Johnny Rando. It doesn't matter the situation or topic, he’s got a knack for remembering classic movie lines and relating them to any/every conversation.

You've got a friend in me

If you ever walk into the Warehouse Twenty One offices and hear someone singing classic Disney songs like a damn princess, it's Katie. If she's working at her desk quietly, it's only because she's listening to the Hercules soundtrack.

Four walls & a roof

Since I was a kid, building my own house has been a dream of mine. At the time I think it just seemed like something cool to do or maybe I aspired to be an architect. The work, stress, and time that it would eventually entail was nowhere near what I expected.

For the fans

I love movies. From posters to trailers, actually seeing the movie on the big screen to holding the physical copy, I love every second of it. Seeing the progression of film and industry marketing over the years has been fascinating.

Work Songs

Aaron is always dependable for some music recommendations. The tunes thumpin’ through the open airwaves of the office on Friday afternoons are usually coming from his speakers.

What's that on your desk?

You are what you keep, so this little diddy is all about some of the unique items that W21ers surround themselves with at work.

Judging the ADDYs

The text read, “I recommended you to be an ADDYs judge in St. Louis this year.” Designer extraordinaire, Joseph Hughes, had judged the year before.

Moving to Cheyenne

Cheyenne wasn’t on my radar, but neither was Cleveland. After finishing ad school in Atlanta, I had grand plans of living in NYC for a couple years, then jetting off to L.A. for another couple, then perhaps Minneapolis or maybe even London.

Will the real Dave Teubner please stand up?

I sat down to write a blog post to reflect on Edge Fest 2017, and as I did, I thought about how important this music event has become to me, to the Warehouse peeps, and to the community.

Place

We’re big believers that every town needs a downtown, working in a beautiful space matters, and preserving historical industrial spaces is a great use of resources, past and present.
