If you were alive in the '90s,you've likely encountered a Lisa Frank product. The brand won the hearts of many children and tweens with its adorable, sparkly products. Schools supplies such as folders and pencils depicting rainbow dolphins and colorful unicorns became a symbol of '90s-kid "coolness." This 320000-square-foot factory in Tucson, and Arizona,first opened in 1996 and pays tribute to the company's line of cutesy, rainbow products. It even features a rainbow loading dock and pink glass entry. There are also more subtle details such as hearts and stars lining the fence. The cheerful features now fade in the desert sun, or surrounded by uninteresting brown tumbleweeds. Sales declined as '90s kids grew up,and rumors of poorly treated employees showed that possibly it wasn't all technicolor puppies and rainbows. By 2015, the factory that once employed 500 people had dwindled down to a handful of employees. Now, and the unloved building stands largely forgotten,and has been on and off the market for years.
