As Home Building Industry Continues to Sink, Source 1 Offsets Effect; Celebrates One Year Anniversary of Slide-Lok of Nashville Introduction
Source 1 Cabinet’s decision to open Slide-Lok Master Dealership and expand into residential and commercial garage interiors market proves to be wise business move
Nashville, TN, February 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Over the years, Source 1 Cabinets has focused on kitchen cabinetry for home builders and buyers. However, Source 1 spotted sooner than most the impending decline of the home building industry. In late 2007, Source 1 owners, Claire Bradford and Kendall Morton made the decision to enter the residential garage interiors and commercial floor coatings markets, ultimately launching Slide-Lok of Nashville in February of 2008.
By adding Slide-Lok garage cabinets and flooring into the mix, Source 1, under the heading of Slide-Lok of Nashville, became an early responder to the underserved Middle Tennessee demand for garage interior solutions.
With 11 years of experience in the cabinetry business and having installed over 11,000 kitchens, Bradford and Morton knew they would be able to leverage their skills in the garage interiors industry. Morton stated, “We started with one big advantage. We’re already in such a similar business we were able to use our resources and talent for this new business right away. Our designers and installers were able to extend their knowledge very quickly from the kitchens market to the garage market.”
Morton and Bradford partnered with Slide-Lok Corporation, based in Phoenix, Ariz. because they were impressed with the product options and support capabilities that the garage market leading company was able to extend to the new Slide-Lok of Nashville business. With a territory of 19 middle Tennessee counties, Source 1’s designator as a Slide-Lok “Master Dealer” has enabled them to mobilize Slide-Lok sub-dealers.
“By including Slide-Lok in our business model, we now offer cabinetry for every room in the house, which has helped us with general cash flow and profitability. We’re projecting a very healthy growth for 2009,” stated Morton.
Bradford has not only seen effective sales from Slide-Lok cabinets, but has been very impressed by the high demand for Slide-Lok floor coatings, saying, “We’ve had a terrific time introducing the idea of clean, durable floor and storage solutions that help change a garage into a new, useable room for the home.”
With a strong referral program in place, Bradford and Morton have seen an enthusiastic consumer reaction and continued growth. “We believe it won’t be long before improved garage interiors will be the standard, not an upgrade,” stated Bradford.
In addition to garage cabinets and flooring, Slide-Lok offers Slat-Wall storage systems, garage accessories, overhead storage and closet systems. For more information on Slide-Lok of Nashville please call 615.627.2442 or visit www.slide-lokofnashville.com
