Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
2004
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary products are mailboxes,plaques,flagpoles and flags including all military flags and custom flags. We carry an extensive line. We also specialize in the installation of the above.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I saw a need for beautiful mailboxes for all the beautiful homes in our area. I mentioned this in conversation with a co-worker one day, and she said she was working on a similar idea developing and manufacturing mailboxes. She brought in pictures the next day, and the rest as they say is history! No more dead end jobs but an exciting new venture!
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are unique in our area as the only mailbox store. Our products are also unique in that we carry numerous high quality items not found at the big box stores. We also know what works and what doesn't, and why, because we install every day. We also custom build many of our mailboxes and have something for every budget. Flags and flagpoles were added shortly after our opening.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location currently but we install in a very wide area. We also ship nationwide. There are no plans to open a 2nd location at this time.
