Taste Specific - Roadrunner Print and Ship

Palm Springs is celebrating a milestone built on collaboration, community, and the kind of partnership that grows only through years of trust. Roadrunner Print & Ship and Taste Specific have officially opened a shared 4,500โ€‘sqโ€‘ft hub at 1130 N. Valdivia Way โ€” a space designed for production, strategy, and longโ€‘term growth. As the release notes, โ€œBob and I have been in each otherโ€™s corners for yearsโ€ฆ Together, we provide the full spectrum of services, from strategy and design to printing and packing โ€” and everything in between.โ€

What began as a handshake between Roadrunnerโ€™s Bob Kincaid and Taste Specificโ€™s Joel Robbins has evolved into a joint headquarters that blends two powerhouse skill sets: Roadrunnerโ€™s awardโ€‘winning printing, shipping, and fulfillment capabilities, and Taste Specificโ€™s fullโ€‘service marketing, creative, and digital expertise. The new hub sits adjacent to Palm Springs International Airport, offering prime visibility and easy access to Iโ€‘10 โ€” a strategic location for both companiesโ€™ expanding national reach.

The partnership also reflects deep community roots. Roadrunner is a proud LGBTQโ€‘owned business recognized for workforce inclusion, local philanthropy, and leadership within the Desert Business Association. Robbins, now succeeding Kincaid as DBA president, brings Taste Specificโ€™s national marketing footprint and a story of resilience โ€” transforming a dismantled department into a thriving agency that kept its team and clients intact.

For clients, the joint hub means something rare: strategy, creative, printing, fulfillment, and shipping all under one roof. As Robbins puts it, โ€œClients want a single point of contact who can handle everything โ€” and now it comes with a loading dock.โ€

This new space isnโ€™t just a building. Itโ€™s a testament to friendship, shared values, and the belief that Palm Springs businesses can grow stronger together.
