Urban Barn Gets Right at Home on Howe Street (Contest!!)

Giving a whole new meaning to feeling “right at home,” Vancouver-based Canadian retailer, Urban Barn, and longtime employee, Robbie Romu, are teaming up this February 12 – 28 to bring the company’s mantra to life at its 818 Howe Street location in downtown Vancouver for everyone to experience. While remaining open to the public, the retail space will be transformed into an open-concept and fully functional home that Robbie will live in, 24-hours a day, for 17 consecutive days. Video cameras will capture Robbie’s every move “big brother-style”, and he’ll be tweeting and updating his facebook status along the way. Everyone’s invited to stop by, hang out with Robbie, enjoy special events and be a part of the fun!
