Early in 2007, RepcoLite took its first step into Hoosier territory with the purchase of Snyder Paints in Goshen, Indiana. It's a big step for RepcoLite, but the potential for growth is very promising.
Snyder Paints is a retail paint and wallpaper store that specializes in servicing the growing wood finish industry in Northern Indiana.
To maintain consistency with Snyder Paints' existing customer base, the name's going to remain the same, though you will hear Snyder Paints described as a Division of RepcoLite. Also, Greg Smucker, the original owner, will remain on board as Manager, retaining the entire crew of Snyder Paints as his operating staff. So don't worry . . . if you're familiar with Snyder Paints, you're still going to see the same faces behind the counter.
But, while the people will remain the same, customers can expect to see some changes. And in some cases . . . BIG changes. To start with, you'll begin to see new products appearing on the shelves as we introduce the RepcoLite Brand to the area. Of course, we'll be sensitive to the needs of Snyder's customers and won't be removing certain lines of product that you're comfortable using. The RepcoLite products will simply be a nice addition to Snyder's already ample offering. We're slowly beginning the process of introducing RepcoLite products to the painters and we are receiving great response.
Another big change for Snyder Paints will be its new designation as a Benjamin Moore Signature Store. This is a tremendously exciting announcement for RepcoLite and Snyder Paints as well as all of our customers. This means that there is now no reason to go anywhere else for paint when you're in Northern Indiana. And soon, that same great opportunity will be available in all of our other stores as well. Snyder Paints is simply the first to put Benjamin Moore on their shelves--the other stores will soon follow suit.
