FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARQUIS SPAS® MOVES SALEM RETAIL STORE
Manufacturer also re-brands store, puts focus back on portable spas
01/22/2010
Independence, Ore Marquis Spas® is adjusting its Salem retail operation by changing the location and the store name. Marquis Casual Living has moved from its old site on Commercial Street SE to 3966 Silverton Road NE and is now called Marquis Spas.
“We received an opportunity to move to a terrific new location on Silverton Road,” said John Schrenk, President of Marquis Spas. “The store’s versatile structure will allow us to showcase spas both indoors and outdoors.”
The new store has changed names from Marquis Casual Living to Marquis Spas. As a part of that change, Marquis will focus on what it does best portable hot tubs. The stores will sell hot tubs, hot tub chemicals and accessories, and portable saunas. Hot tubs and saunas complement each other as they are both considered wellness products.
The Salem store will mirror Marquis’ very successful retail operation in Camarillo, Calif. That store opened in 2008 and was an instant success.
“Our Camarillo store has been a big winner for us, despite the dismal economic conditions that currently exist in California,” said Schrenk. “It has showed us that focusing on hot tubs is a winning formula for us. After all, no one knows hot tubs better than a hot tub manufacturer.”
The Salem store at 3966 Silverton Road NE is now open. There are plenty of items on sale to celebrate the new location, including screaming deals on 2009 products. The Marquis Spas store is managed by Noel Prichard. He has been with Marquis’ retail division for several years and was honored as the Salesperson of the Year in 2009. Prichard is joined by Don Woods, a long time Marquis employee and top notch spa salesman.
In addition to the stores mentioned above, Marquis Spas also has a retail store in Tigard on SW Dartmouth.
Marquis Spas, an Oregon-based employee-owned company, is celebrating 30 years of manufacturing premium portable hot tubs. The company distributes its products in the U.S., Canada and Europe via their extensive dealer network. For more information please call (800) 275-0888 or log onto www.marquisspas.com.
