2017

2017 was a common year that started on Sunday (Dominical Letter A) of the Gregorian Calendar. It was the 17th year of the 3rd millennium and 21st century, and the 8th year of the 2010's decade.

2017 was known for the founding of Escade Photography in October of 2017. Two of the Zach McEwen ATBW episodes were remade in this year, which are ATBW Copyright School 2017 Remake and Zach Meets Zach.exe Halloween Special. They were made on September 11 and October 31 of the year respectively. 2017 was also the year of fidget spinners

Fidget Spinner Store, which was very prominent in 2017 (though eventually being bought out by CCTV Productions on March 18, 2018 under CCTV Gift Shop, where it merged into that chain), sold ATBW fidget spinners during its peak in April to June 2017.

Fidget spinners eventually became an issue across ATBW theme parks and as such banned them from certain parts of ATBW Theme Parks, and those where they are not banned are to be kept in pockets except at the hotel area. The Escades also saw this as a major threat and have also banned any of them from their residence, including the ones by their parent company ATBW, which has released them in the start of the year.

Furthermore, the Escades have also had to struggle with a new competitor, which would become Bregoli Fashionworks, which nearly crushed their stores in sales by opening over 6,000 locations, even opening them in former ATBW stores as well though usually only portions of the buildings. Unlike the Fidget Spinner Store chain though, Bregoli Fashionworks remains a competitor of Escade Stores and has more than 10,000 stores; most opened in former Fidget Spinner Stores in August 2017, while others were opened in larger buildings; including ATBW Store.
