A recent move to their new, bigger and better 15,000-square-foot store puts Holmes Power Equipment, a division of Schlabach Equipment at Apple Creek, in an advantageous position to help you find the proper equipment to begin your spring cleanup and yard maintenance routines.“Our focus is on customer service,” said Daniel Troyer, Holmes Power Equipment partner. “And not just on the day you come in to purchase but every time you walk through our door. We treat our customers the way we want to be treated.” Holmes Power Equipment understands how important it is to take care of customers and to build trust.An open house will be held April 9-14 to showcase the new location just across the street from the former store. The spacious building features an open floor plan that includes a huge showroom and service area where the experienced staff can keep your equipment in tip-top shape. Customers will find discounts on products throughout the store and can receive complimentary gifts with each purchase during the open house.“We were running out of room at our old location,” said Troyer. “Our new location gives us more space and we are enjoying it more than we imagined.” The new building is just one of the ways Holmes Power Equipment meets the needs of customers in and around the region.“We serve customers all over the state, both locally and beyond,” said Troyer. “We are fortunate to have customers from Cleveland and Columbus that have found us by word-of-mouth. We know we are doing something right when our current customers are our own best advertising.”Holmes Power Equipment is an independent authorized dealer of Honda, Stihl and Toro products. They carry the complete lines and include lawn and garden equipment like tractors, mowers, trimmers, tillers and all the accessories for residential and commercial use. “Our products are trusted names that are easily recognizable.
