WHY BUY LOCAL?
After a busy weekend in the store, I would like to share an experience with a customer. The customer was looking for a part for their filter and after speaking with them for 20 minutes, helping them decipher the issue they simply stated, "I can get it on Amazon cheaper."
To be honest, this is more frequent than one would think, so I would like to take a minute to share the importance of buying local.
Klenswite Pools was started in 1965 by Jeff's grandfather who sold bleach door to door. He was a one man show. It was Jeff's parents, specifically his mother, Jeannette, who saw the vision of supplying chemicals to commercial and residential pool customers, turning it into a family run business with about 8 employees.
Today Klenswite consists of 30 employees most of them living in our county. They shop here, they get gas here, their kids go to school here..in our community. IN OUR COMMUNITY.
With that said, we prioritize giving back to our community, investing in our community and always supporting our community. Its not just giving to a fundraiser or donating a prize, its being involved with organizations, its volunteering time, committing to projects and seeing a vision through to completion.
Yes, absolutely, you may be able to get a part for a few dollars less on Amazon.
Here is the value of shopping and doing business with Klenswite Pools. Our staff consists of employees who have been in the business for well over 30 years and the knowledge they bring to the table is second to none. Our technicians fill their winter days with certification classes and technical training provided by manufacturers. Behind the scenes you will find employees that care and don't mind taking the time to help each and every customer that walks through our doors. If there is an issue we make every effort to find a solution everyone can agree on. Jeff is a 3rd generation owner and we look forward to keeping it in the family for years to come; we have been here for decades and we are here to stay.
Thank you to all our customers who see the value in supporting our business.
Jeff and Michelle DeVico
