Three month’s ago we was hit hard when we lost my dad Chuck. Not only was he the friendliest, most helpful , business partner , he was always the one willing to go over and beyond to help anyone. He worked out front all day everyday. He was able to look at all his Coke boxes and collections while he worked as he greeted everyone who came thru the door. Ive always been the super busy one, always on the go , always trying to fit more into the day than possible. My attitude has not always been the best when dealing with the public because i knew i didnt have time to stop and talk, fit one more person into the schedule or really do much more than i was already doing. Im working to better at that. For years the city has stayed on our butts about keeping the front cleaned, this was almost an impossible task with my dad. He wanted to work outside and he wanted to see people come in. After losing him i was faced with difficult decisions with his belongings, property, and Appliance One, again i was navigating something new and was unsure how or what to do with out having him. First thing i did was clean up around the front for numerous reasons but mainly because i didnt wanna remember that day he passed and the background which was in front of the shop. For the last three months we have been trying to find a new normal and the direction in which i wanna take Appliance One. I had to cut calls way back to ensure i was getting shop time to work on repairs and keep our sales floor stocked. We have decided that we can start taking on more service calls now and we looking forward to fitting everyone in a little sooner than the normal 1 -2 week wait. In addition to accepting more calls we have added brantley and luverne to our service area, we have lowered the rate for opp service calls and added a same day option. For anyone not able to wait for service.
We want everyone to know although we dont have appliances all over the front anymore , tractor parked outside and coke boxes out front we are still open for business and prices are better than ever before. Thank you all for your continued support and business.
