We at The Home Center are very blessed with the security and business that we are allowed to have each day, month, and year.. Selling mattresses, bedroom, dining, sofa and loves, youth, bunkbeds and much much more has allowed us to meet a great customer base, and we appreciate that to the fullest.

The Home Center would like to pass on some of the blessings and we are now running a contest that will help the Haitians in time of need.. Bring in a pair of shoes to any of The Home Centers, fill out the entry blank, (1 for every pair of shoes), and see if you win a NEW QUEEN NATURAL LATEX mattress set.

The contest runs thru the month of March and the drawing will be on the 31st. Please join us to send shoes to Haiti, it makes no difference if used as long as they are reuseable. New would be great too.

Thank you the owner of The Home Centers, www.thehomecenters.com

The new sofa and love set

With the holidays just around the corner, and everyone coming to the bash, wouldn't it be nice to have new furniture for your guests to sit on?

Might I suggest a few things to keep in mind while you shop for the new. Remember, every type of sitting is done on the new sofa and love. With that in mind you might want to consider some safety, and protection for the fabric and frame.

Lets see, the frame. The best frames to give you the longest life are hardwood frames that have been glued, reinforced corners, and screwed or tacked at all seams. There are products out in the market place that have pressboard and particle board frames, these tend to weaken quicker and definitely are heavier when moved, ( not suggested to do it weakens corners ).

The second thing to make sure you consider is a fabric protection against spills and stains. Make sure that you ask about the protection for the fabric that you are going to buy, and if it is a special ordered item this can be a real important part of the decision making.

Then when you have chosen the sofa and love, don't forget the chair and ottoman that match. Remember too, ask about the warranty and how long it lasts?

Labor Day

http://www.thehomecenters.com/



The Home Center has a great respect for all that can be accomplished when people put their minds to it. Forever, labor has been the driving force that has made this a great country, a leader in ideas, ingenuity, invention, industry, education, and much, much, more. All of the tests that have been put in front of our great county and people we have never failed to come to the rise and overtake the barriers that some would say should hold us down. This is not the American way!



It has been a great pleasure to have a staff of employees that work hard, show respect to others and service their communities in the best way possible.



I want to take my hat off to all of them and thank them for all that they do. When times are a little rough, they perform at a standard that can not be beat. When it looks like there is no end in sight, they pull up, stand up and don't take the bow.



To the manufacturer we work with and their staffs we at The Home Center enjoy their craftsmanship, their working hard to supply us with quality and pricing that keeps us in a competitive mode. They, as we know product of quality will be approved by the customer and our friends.



As another example in all of The Home Centers we are putting our foot forward and presenting great savings to all that work hard through out the year and suggesting that you stop by one of the stores for coffee and just a little conversation. Keep an eye on the savings, product, and service that we offer.



Join our blog and it will be fun and informative, email us for the items you would have interest in allow us the great privilege to know you.

Want To Smile??

Well, I figured it was time of another joke! It has been awhile, and we need something to lighten the mood. If this doesn't get you laughing I don't know what will!! :)

Mistakes on a resume

These are from actual resumes:

"Personal: I'm married with 9 children. I don't require prescription drugs. "

"I am extremely loyal to my present firm, so please don't let them know of my immediate availability."

"Qualifications: I am a man filled with passion and integrity, and I can act on short notice. I'm a class act and do not come cheap."

"I intentionally omitted my salary history. I've made money and lost money. I've been rich and I've been poor. I prefer being rich."

"Note: Please don't misconstrue my 14 jobs as 'job-hopping'. I have never quit a job."

"Number of dependents: 40."

RESUME BLOOPERS

REASONS FOR LEAVING THE LAST JOB:

REASONS FOR LEAVING MY LAST JOB:

"Was met with a string of broken promises and lies, as well as cockroaches."

"I was working for my mom until she decided to move."

"The company made me a scapegoat - just like my three previous employers."

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

"While I am open to the initial nature of an assignment, I am decidedly disposed that it be so oriented as to at least partially incorporate the experience enjoyed heretofore and that it be configured so as to ultimately lead to the application of more rarefied facets of financial management as the major sphere of responsibility."

"I was proud to win the Gregg Typting Award."

SPECIAL REQUESTS & JOB OBJECTIVES:

"Please call me after 5:30 because I am self-employed and my employer does not know I am looking for another job."

PERSONAL INTERESTS:

"Donating blood. 14 gallons so far."

SMALL TYPOS THAT CAN CHANGE THE MEANING:

"Develop and recommend an annual operating expense fudget."

"I'm a rabid typist."

I have spent the morning researching "blogging". What does it mean, how is it effective, who really reads the blogs, how do we reach our target area? What I have found is a huge list of "do's" and don'ts" Don't be too personal, don't be too much about your business and what you are selling (that tends to turn people off, because they want to get to know you personally??). Do post often and find key-words and research your market area and link into others who are authorities in your area of business....etc.

Honestly, it's all overwhelming! Here at the Home Center I hope our blog would create an information station as to who we really are! First, we are people, just like you. We are moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles...just like you. We have likes and we have dislikes... just like you! Some of us our really into sports, play sports, watch sports...just like you. Some of us are soccer moms, some of us can hit a golf ball every now and then, others of us prefer to snuggle up to a good book or movie after work. People...just like you.

We are also people who shop. We have to fill our cupboards with food, we have to provide clothing for our children, we occasionally enjoy a dinner out. The one thing that stands out more than anything as a shopper is being treated as a person, not a number. So many times businesses seem to treat the consumer like a number, herd them in, herd them out. There seems to be less time and attention spent on treating people like a person!

Here at the Home Center we are dedicated to treating our customer's like people, since that's what we all are. We are so grateful to the customers walking through our doors. We want to offer you our time and attention to welcome you in and provide personal service. It's so hard to find anymore...SERVICE! We are large enough to provide for your needs, but small enough to care when you walk through our doors! Without you, we would not be here!

We offer wonderful merchandise that fits into most budgets. We spend great time and effort in finding the best possible values as well as quality. We train our staff to have the answers on every item in our stores, so we are able to find exactly what you are looking for!

At the Home Center you will find such a tremendous assortment of sofa and love seats. Not only do we keep them in stock, but if we don't have what you are looking for we will work aggressively to get it for you. Most of our sets come with lifetime warranties and offer extended warranties on the cushions so you can feel confident in the quality. Not only do we offer quality, but we provide value. We strive to accommodate every budget!

We also have a tremendous selection of mattresses. We offer guest bedroom quality on up to premium Latex and Memory Foam mattresses! We have the right mattress for you with wonderful savings to make it easy on your pocketbook.

At the Home Center we not only offer sofas and love seats and mattresses, but we have bunk beds, daybeds, recliners, dining sets, bedroom groups, lamps and home accessories. We offer a knowledgeable staff, friendly atmosphere and above and beyond, our people are here to meet your needs and service you. If you are in the market for furniture, we strongly suggest you head into one of our showrooms today!

Something to Think About

- Insight-

A new day, a new start.

Some days you realize just how important life can be. Hot sun at your back, soft shoes under your feet, full tank of gas, a nice brimming cup of coffee in hand. The simple pleasures of life.

Think of the things that can make you smile.

A smile from your child, a peace offering from an old friend, a simple email from a long lost family member, a gift of life, even things such as a deal on an item you have always wanted, getting that new car you wanted, spending wisely when normally you get in over your head, it is the little things we live for, isn't it?

Everyone wants something. Whether it be money, a home, comfort, love, there is always something. And more often then not it seems it is just out of reach.

Take a moment and look at what you have. Right now! Look at the things in front of you. The things that really matter. Happy kids playing with their toys, a sunny day that splashes light about, a computer humming as your fingers drum against the keys. It's the small simple pleasures of life. To wake up and be thankful for the job you have, or for the care you carry from family and friends, the health you have.

Live your days thankful for your surroundings. Live your days as each one was the last! Fear nothing, and fight hard, life is here and now, and in your grasp! Don't regret. Simply live!

Weekend Madness

The Parking Lot Sale at The Moses Lake Home Center was a smashing hit!

The sun might have been a tad bit to hot for my taste, but with the flowing traffic we had come through the doors, it wasn't hard to push the heat to the back burner and jump right in with the customers!!

It was the largest sale of the year, and it did not disappoint. More merchandise then you could even imagine, and sale prices lower then you have ever seen. KDRM was able to come out and broadcast from the parking lot, and pizza an pop were available to all! I would have to say it was a blast to work The Annual Parking lot sale this year. I can't wait until it rolls around next year. So, if by any chance you missed 2009, don't worry, there is always 2010!

Until then, stop by and see the new merchandise on the show room floors, here at The Home Centers. Deals are still hot, and are getting hotter! If there is one thing we know how to do at The Home Center-- is to finding you the lowest price and the best quality in product!

See you soon!!

" No Credit Check "

http://www.thehomecenters.com/

Would you like that new mattress and box set or maybe the new sofa and love? It makes no difference what piece of furniture you might need at " The Home Center". I believe that we have a perfect program that will fit into your life style and make it easy for you to have the home furnishings that are best suited for you.

Let me walk you through the program and see if it fits into your life style. The program is designed to be paid off in one year. That way you can never over buy and yet you can start with the room setting that is most important to you. Then, when the first is over you can come back and select the second room. This program also has a 90 day same as cash attached to it, so there is no interest if you pay it off within the 90 days. This just speeds up the process of filling in your home sooner. It makes no difference if you buy only one item or 20. Nor does it make any stipulation as to how much you must spend, that's all up to you.

Here's how it works, you must be employed for six (6) months, have your last paycheck stub, have a drivers licence or photo I.D.. You will have to bring in the last bank statement which must have been open for at least three (3) months with no type of penalty, i.e. overdrafts, we then would send this all of with a small application and they will let us know how large a purchase you are able to make.

There have been times when The Home Centers have been able to process all of the requirement via the fax from the customer. This means you don't even have to leave you home to apply. Wouldn't that make it really easy?

Your new bedroom set, dining set, or whatever you have in mind has just been made so simple for you. Email us a thehomecenter@thehomecenters.com, and we will help to make this a wonderful way to ease your purchases.

Perdue

As a small family owned company The Home Center not only appreciates small town values, but works diligently to provide the same service to our customers. Which is why we are taking a moment to introduce you to Perdue Woodworks, a manufacture we consider part of The Home Center family.

　
The Home Center is proud and honored to offer American Made products from a quality company such as Perdue Woodworks. Perdue Woodworks was founded in 1970 by Don and Joan Perdue in Western Montana. Starting out as a small family owned company Perdue Woodworks has now branched out with new facilities and services the entire United States as well as Canada, still under the direct supervision of the Perdue family.

The Home Center has sold Perdue products for over a decade. Perdue offers a wide range of bedroom furniture, as well as a variety of entertainment and office goods. All products are made with such care, every piece is signed by the maker!! Customer service like that is just impossible to find in this day and age. All wood products are made with a combination of pine and wood bi-products in order to produce a better quality, yet still an affordable piece.

We are extremely impressed to receive merchandised signed by the person who produced it at the factory. Not only is every piece signed by hand, but also chemical and water-resistant! All Perdue wood products are laminated with Epoxy to ensure superior water and chemical resistance. The Epoxy seal guarantees a non-bubbling finish when in contact with long term moisture!

Perdue Woodworks not only produces a quality product, but hand delivers their merchandise as another benefit to keep costs down. Perdue trucks readily deliver to their suppliers coast to coast!! Each and every piece is built at the factory, then sent out via Perdue trucks on a weekly basis. There is absolutely no assembly required!! All the work is done for us before we ever receive an item!

What does all of this mean to you the customer? It absolutely means you get a quality piece with no maintenance or labor involved an at an unbelievable savings! Not only is Perdue doing their part by employing hard working Americans, but they are also passing on great value to YOU the customer!

Let The World Spin On Without You...

Does it ever seem like some days just won't end? Like there is always something that has to be done? Something calling your name, something waiting for you to water it, feed it, put it away?

Or a line that is always in front of you, or maybe a list. A list a mile long of chores, an event that must be attend, paper work or bills that must go out. There is always something.

Those days can, and are painful.

And then you have days you wish would last forever. Days where you wake up, and just know in the pit of your stomach that everything will be simple, that you can relax, that the things that usually call your name have been muted for just this one single day. You can breathe, maybe even ease back a little, and take some time for yourself.

Take that car ride you've been wanting to, watch that movie at the theaters, ever a bath that has been well over due. Normally a five to ten minute shower is all you have time for. Well, not today. This day is for you. Take your time, relax in those bubbles, breathe deep and rest easy.

Let the world spin on without you. If we do not take those days every now and then we will fall flat. We will ware ourselves thin, and then no one is happy.

Stress is a factor in everyones life...

We want you all to relax. Don't worry. Take a day for yourselves. Do what you want, whether it be staying in or going out. Just take the day. Walk the little town or big city you live in and see the local sites. Visit stores, museums, water parks, visit things you haven't been able to, or some of your favorite places you have sadly missed out on lately.

Don't ware yourself thin. After all you are the most important person-- to your family, friends, work, even your community!

Let The World Spin On Without You... Even if it's just a day.

Band Together

Working together.That is the best way to keep a company going. A well oiled company talks to each other, bounces idea off each other, relies on one another.

With life as it is now this is the only way we can all keep going. No matter if you are a huge company or a small home town one, it all applies. Working hand in hand, or side by side, is better then working any other way. You want to know that everyone is in it together and that you are not alone out there. Everyone working to their full potential is better then a group of five working at half mass.

I believe that with the way the world is spinning now that it is the best opportunity to lean from each other. Work as we have never done before and come out ahead of this mess that is around all of us.

Sites such as Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/ ) is a great example. Everyone talking and communicating ideas and facts to everyone. With how many people are on Twitter, you may get an idea, you personally would have never thought of by yourself. 2 brains is better then one and 100 is better then 10. Lets use the resourses that are out that, and lets turn this economy around!! Lets band together.

Leave me your feed back, and lets talk... I am interested in what you personal have to say and your thoughts on the world as of now!
