NEW LOCATION

February 17 2009 at 8:39 PM

Rick Gelinas 

We have seriously outgrown our current location for Excellent Supply. So I have spent the past several months diligently searching for an ideal location for our growing business. Well after a very long search I finally found an ideal location for our company's needs.

We will be in our new store effective March 1st.

Our new location will have a nice showroom, more office space, and a better warehouse/shipping area. Plus this new location is centrally located between St Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater. It is also directly en route between JonDon and Interlink - so it looks like this area will become the "carpet cleaning supply district" for central Florida.

We've been working day and night prepping the new location. It is really turning out nice! We can't wait to finally be in there!!!

Here's a photo of the front of the building as well as a map. I'll post more photos and info about our Grand Opening once everything is in place.

I remember when a few of us stopped into to see you when we were down attending SFS.(at your current place) Your new place looks very nice. I m sure your staff will enjoy the added room. Will you have a sq ft or 2 of carpeting to try a machine out on......or perhaps a place to have an "encap get together"? I ll start from NY and pick up a few guys on the way down to attend your grand opening. (Danny Strickland I ll drive this time)

Very nice store! Finally you have a facility that can do you and your company justice! Clean on the inside and out.

It also looks like you'll be here for a while. Watch out Jon-Don and Interlink!

Pays Off! Rick & Nancy, I couldn't be happier for you two. Great looking place. I used to say that the Devil was in the Details, but I am changing that to "Shorty is in the details"

Re: Hardwork- Dedication- Honesty-Love of this Industry

Thanks guys. We're really excited about the move.

I started my cleaning company out of the trunk of a car when I was 21 years old. I've bootstrapped it along to the point we're at now - 27 years later. And when we started Excellent Supply we originally worked out of our house, shipping from our garage. Then we moved into the small office and warehouse we're in now four and a half years ago. Well we're now ready to take the next step. In fact we probably should have done it a lot sooner - but I've tried to be practical.

The location we're in now never really cut it very well for our needs. It's an older building, in an industrial section of town, with cramped quarters that makes it a challenge to work in. Like I said, I've tried to be practical, and we've had a good time while we've been there. But now I feel like we're finally moving into the sort of location that is proper for our business. I've always envisioned a cool looking showroom in a more modern style building. Our new store looks appropriate and it should take care of our growing company for some time to come.

Our new store will serve well for: walk-in traffic, doing demos, conducting classes, quick access to the interstate and Tampa airport, close proximity to other suppliers in the Tampa Bay area, and an easy 14.7 mile drive from Connections on Clearwater Beach.

It's gonna be great happy.gif



BTW Shorty your eyes are playing tricks on you. I hate to rain on your parade, but that was me taking the picture. What you're seeing in the reflection is a 35mm digital camera with a large black lens and a black camera strap positioned in front of a bald guys head. Sorry, there's no "lovely lady in a black halter top".


Hey did any of you spot the neon sign in the window?
You guys were too busy looking for a girl that wasn't there. LOL

Rick,

Congratulations on the building. From the looks of the map the Connections Convention will be in your back yard. I might have to make a special trip over there to see your staff when I am at the convention. Congratulations again.

PS At the Grand Opening feel free to put my name in the hat for the free 55 gallon jug of Releasit.
