Dauphin - 23 March, 2006 -

MEDIchair is pleased to announce that MEDIchair Dauphin has been selected as the winner of the 2005 Harry Mykolaishyn Best Dressed Store Award among the organization's 60 locations across Canada. This achievement award is presented annually to the MEDIchair franchisee whose overall store layout, design, and presentation through the customer's eyes best exemplifies MEDIchair's core values of care, knowledge, value and customer service excellence. "Sandra and Ed Goertzen have done an outstanding job of moving their store from a mall to a totally renovated stand alone building," says MEDIchair's Bas van Lankvelt, Director, Support Services. "In the process, they tripled their floor space to 5500 square feet and created a customer-focused retail environment that showcases the breadth and depth of who MEDIchair is and what it does." "This is a very gratifying award for us," says co-owner Sandra Goertzen. "In our new store, we wanted to create a warm, inviting interior for our staff and our customers. We wanted to have a store that felt like home and that allowed our customers to test drive products and see how other home medical equipment products can be used in environments such as the bathroom, bedroom and living room. It was very important for us to create an atmosphere where the customer could feel relaxed and comfortable thus allowing them to make an informed decision about purchasing the right products for their situation." In addition to their show room that displays a comprehensive range of home medical equipment, MEDIchair Dauphin has administration offices, a drive-in service bay, storage space for warehousing equipment and spare parts, an employee lunchroom and a private fitting and consultation room. "The greatest compliments have come from our customers," explains Goertzen "They tell us that the colours make them feel relaxed and right at home. They like the warm, friendly feeling of our store's design and layout that allows them see everything without feeling crowded or pressured."
