Market Competition and Expansion:
One of the few companies of its size in the Pacific Northwest that places and removes refrigeration equipment in retail food stores. Their location with easy access to the interstate freeways is a plus when competing for business and allows for a more flexible flow of equipment for the staging of new stores or clearing out older ones throughout the Northwest. Established business relationships with many of the major food retailers in the area along with their ability to take on the larger projects gives this company the edge when competing. Retail stores are always expanding, remodeling and locating in population growth areas. Also they do complete store equipment removal. Expansion is possible with a high energy owner willing to add to their sales force and expand to more states. By sustaining the existing customer base and creating new relationships, expansion in this market for used and refurbished equipment can be further expanded. The recycling aspect of this business has become a high profit center as well and adds to the growth potential of this already successful company.
