Opfer said the warehouse conversion would provide two production studios and space for up to six sets to film infomercials for Forever Lazy full-body fleece wear, InstaHang wall-peg dispensers, Simoniz Fix It Pro scratch remover, Topsy Turvy upside-down tomato planters and other direct-response marketing clients.
