FAIRFIELD - Call it a first-place move for The Trophy Factory.

Owner Bob Carrington moved his store to Fairfield in December after about two decades across the tracks in Suisun City. Carrington said the property owners were not renewing leases at his last site, so he struck out for a new home.

He started renovating the site on West Texas Street near the intersection with Pennsylvania Avenue in November. He moved in at the beginning of December. The higher profile storefront has been a boon, he said.

'I came and looked at it and thought, 'Well, I will come over to Fairfield,' ' he said. 'This is much bigger than the one I had on Railroad (Avenue).'
