Hat Factory literally becoming Epic
What is it with some places not being able to keep a name? Formerly Toad’s Place, currently Hat Factory will become Epic Theater. From the Hat Factory Facebook Page:
In other news, Hat Factory will be changing it’s name to Epic Theatre (launch party details coming soon). The change of name is to reflect the dynamic changes that have taken place over the last few months. Check out the beta of our new website at http://www.epicva.com/ and let us know what you think.
Has this place been more of a problem than a plus? I know there were some problems a while back, but I haven’t kept track. I know the Bottom has had trouble. I didn’t know if they place contributed to it. I had a lot of hopes for it when it initially opened.
“@ShockoeNews: Hat Factory becoming Epic literally: http://t.co/71Nlq4nL #rva #rvamusic” Epic Theatre? How fucking dumb is that?
Name + Logo = low rent
and David Allen Coe will be here next month – nothing like a good concert of hate to open a venue with a bang.

It’s called turnover. Each group of owners want to turn the place into their own vision of an entertainment venue. Not that hard to figure out. Let’s hope the current owners have a better go at it than the previous groups.
That’s just horrible. The “Hat Factory” name was unique and sounded like a destination place. I guess it’s just another nightclub with a cheesy name…
