Johnstone
Supply Celebrates 30 year Anniversary!
On October 6th Johnstone Supply celebrated 30 years serving HVAC dealers in
Western and Central Michigan at their Muskegon location. Over 38 vendors set
up a huge trade show under the big top tent and throughout the Johnstone
building. Over 500 people attended the day's event featuring a pig roast,
live music, silent auctions, moon walk for the kids and hundreds of
doorprizes. "We just wanted to thank everyone who has been a part of our
business throughout the past 30 years" said Tom Johnson sales manager for
Johnstone Supply. " I was suprised to see customers here from Mt. Pleasant,
Lansing, Ludington, Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo. That's a long way to drive
during the busy season. We really appreciated seeing everyone".
Some of the door prizes included a 93% furnace from Goodman, 27" TV from
Siemens, recovery unit from Bacharach and much more. The live music was
courtesy of local band "Pavlov's Dog" who entertained late into the evening.
Dealers also took advantage of product specials with deep discounts from
each of the 38 attending vendors. Johnstone is looking forward to the next
30years of continued success.
Grand
Opening Branch Expansion Grand Rapids
The
new Grand Rapids branch expansion was
officially opened on
November 4th, 2004 with much fanfare. We hosted a big vendor tradeshow with
burgers and brats for lunch. A special Silent Auction was held on heating
equipment and unbelievable deals were available. Many
dealers took advantage of the special pricing offered on many HVAC
items. Over 30
door prizes were awarded to those attending. The parking lots were jammed
with service vehicles attending the show.
The branch originally opened
with 10,000 total square feet and has now expanded to over 28,000 total
square ft, 3000 of which are devoted to a self-service showroom. A new
"Drive-Thru" service is available for dealers to pick up their orders inside
away from the rain, wind and snow. Simply pull inside, load up and exit the
other side of the building.
Johnstone Supply offers Grand Rapids
area dealers over 45,000 HVAC/R items including sheetmetal, furnaces,
airconditioners, compressors, controls, instruments tools, pumps, boilers
and much more.
Johnstone Supply celebrates Christmas 2004 with 4 dealer appreciation parties!
 Johnstone Supply ended 2004 with their traditional annual
fried chicken and mashed potatoes Christmas luncheons. The new Johnstone Supply
Kalamazoo Michigan location started the week off with hundreds of area dealers
enjoying chicken and seeing the new branch location up close. Then Wednesday at
Johnstone Holland, Michigan followed by Johnstone Grand Rapids on Thursday, MI
and finally on Friday in Johnstone Muskegon. In addition to the chicken the
dealers enjoyed biscuits, beans, pop, coffee and cake. It was a chance to relax,
tell holiday stories and enjoy each others company. Johnstone Supply salutes the
HVAC/R dealers throughout Michigan and wishes everyone a great 2005!
