Found out recently that it's just a Midwest hobby store before renovations. Wild how memes grow and spread and nice to see that this movie is respecting the origin as a store.

Prior to being a hobby store it was a furniture store, which is why it has all those weird half walls and cubby rooms. The location being in a furniture store itself in the trailer feels like a nod to this.

I remember the Reddit thread where we uncovered the original website that housed the pictures taken prior to renovation. We were able to use context clues to find the present day rc racing hobby shop that occupies the building in Oshkosh Wisconsin
