More Than What Meets The Eye: Visit Our Showroom Today!
"I've passed this place about a million times and this is the first time I've come in." "Gee, this place is a lot bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside!"
If I had a dime for every time I heard these sentiments from a first-time customer, I'd be...well...let's just say I'd have quite a bit more saved for retirement! I usually hear these quoted words (or words to that effect) once a week depending on the time of year (some times of the year are busier than others). It's either the first quote, the second quote or both.
Nonetheless, however and whenever it's said, it just shows me a number of things of which I often need reminding. Among the reminders are: We've been here a long time on the well-trafficked road of Central Park Avenue (Rt. 100) in Yonkers, New York. We've been noticed on this main commercial route much more than we realize. The people who express these sentiments are never disappointed when they finally make their way into the store.
Now our building isn't the eighth wonder of the world. But apparently, the fifteen-foot vaulted ceiling in the front of the building is highly visible for pedestrians and passing motorists. It makes a noticeable difference on the road to any passerby. However, according to many surprised first-time visitors, they thought that was the entire store! But it isn't. What is apparently not visible from the road is the twenty-four foot wide showroom space inside the front of the building and the fourteen foot wide corridor of showroom space that leads to the expanded showroom space in the back of the building.
In all of the aforementioned spaces, we've consistently kept an attractive display of goods, set up in a tasteful room decor, knowing that taking care of your showroom translates into a more attractive shopping experience for our customers. This is basic stuff actually, "retail 101" if you will. However, it's not always practiced, even in some of the more prominent retail store chains in the area.
But we're not a chain. We're a family-owned and operated business that was established 104 years ago (and counting) as a custom pool-table manufacturer on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We've had a store in Yonkers for 59 years (and counting) and have been at this present location for the past 43 years (and counting). Since 1998, this has been our sole location. We're still a vendor of quality slate-top pool tables and other "traditional gaming". But we've also become one of the best known awards suppliers in the tri-state area since opening the store in Yonkers 59 years ago.
So if you're in the Yonkers area and you're in the market for what we offer - or if you're just curious about that building with the high, triangular-shaped roof and stucco siding at 1876 Central Park Avenue (that you've happened to pass by a million times) - take a moment to stop by and take a look inside. You'll find that there's more than what meets the eye compared to what you've seen from outside. You'll probably be a million times surprised as well!
