HIALEAH, Fla. — Commercial laundry equipment distributor Statewide Laundry Equipment recently concluded its three-day Spring Road Show tour, the company reports.
The three-stop tour kicked off on March 29 in Riverview, Fla. Next stop was Orlando on March 30, and the event wrapped up its trek with a final stop at Statewide’s headquarters here just outside Miami on April 5.
Statewide chose the tour approach to make it possible for all customers to attend in every region of the Sunshine Shine, but it even attracted customers from Georgia.
The Road Shows featured do-it-yourself Service and Repair Seminars to benefit Laundromat owners in the event of a mechanical malfunction, equipping them with the knowledge needed to tend to the issues themselves.
An open house featuring industry vendors took place, as well as multiple interactive service demonstrations presented by Statewide and Speed Queen personnel.
“The best part about the Road Shows for me as a multi-store laundry owner is networking with trusted vendors and fellow laundry operators in an open, relaxed environment,” says store owner Tom Rhodes and president of the Florida Coin Laundry Association. “I attend every year!”
Prizes and raffled giveaways were awarded to show attendees. And Statewide customers Bob and Donna Wallner, who recently won the 2016 Speed Queen® Art of the Journey contest, made special appearances at the Riverview and Orlando shows.
Aside from its Spring Road Shows, Statewide hosts investment seminars throughout the year. For information, consult the distributor’s website.
