ATBW Store Facade

The ATBW Store Facade is a wedge shaped facade that is prominent in ATBW Stores, Langilenet Stores

First Generation 1963 - 2004
The 1st Generation ATBW stores typically have a wedge shaped facade that goes over the entrance. Later stores with a garden center have either a flat facade or a wedge facade. The facade was designed by Eric Langile in late 1961 as construction of the first one began and opened in December 1962, just before the chain was established later on in February 1963.

The first style is the most prominent even into today, and was served as the inspiration for many popular ATBW Blog characters, including Turbo Bull, Signature Deer, Brusky & Friends, Grandid GT, Ameritz In California City, Pagoda Turtles, Watercolor Sheep, Calligraphy Deer, California City, and Lancerware.

The style was adopted into ATBW Florist Shop, Langilenet Store, and eventually Zippy Land Essentials after ATBW's acquisition of Zippy Land in July 2000.

In 1998, an alternative color scheme was added, which is beige with an entirely white facade instead of the traditional dark grey style with the light gray facade. This scheme became more prominent in stores built after 2000, but the last store of this type opening in January 2004 was still painted the traditional colors funny enough.
