HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1994-06-08, Page 25SEAFORTH SPORTS - The owner of Seaforth Sports says the
town is very sports -oriented and the store fills a need.
Sports store serves need in area
"Seaforth is a big sporting town,"
says Rob Dupee, owner of Seaforth
Sports at 11 Main Street. "It didn't
have a sports store and I felt it was
an area that needed to be served."
The local entrepreneur filled that
gap with the addition to the
downtown of Seaforth Sports in
August of 1993.
The store offers a wide range of
products including custom lettering
for teams or individuals, baseball
equipment and uniforms and
licensed merchandise. The business
also hopes to stock hockey
equipment as well as expanded
footwear and clothing lines.
Rob recalls his motivation in
starting the store:
"I always enjoyed and was
involved in sports so I decided to
start a business in that area."
The sports business sees great
potential for growth as local people
purchase apparel for their teams.
Rob is confident that once people
learn what is carried at Seaforth
Sports, the store will grow.
The local business offers
exceptional service and product
knowledge.
"We carry only sports -related
products so we can better serve the
customer," he said.
The store also offers individual
ordering. "All you have to do is
ask."
Customers make favourable
comments about the competitive
prices, up-to-date styles and
knowledgeable staff. Seeing a
satisfied customer and a return
customer is one of the highlights of
the business, according to its owner.
Rob feels confident the store will
be able to compete.

Technology helps insurance clients
Seaforth Insurance Broker Ltd. is
further entering the technological
age by introducing more advanced
computerization.
Owners Ken Cardno and Don
Eaton say automation and stream-
lining of the office will allow the
business to process more new pol-
icies and endorsements directly in
the office. This could greatly reduce
the present turn -around time of two
to three weeks.
"The rapid changes in the insur-
ance and financial industries will
require the insurance broker to
streamline his office operations to
better serve the client," said Ken
Cardno.
The owners of Seaforth Insurance
are able to provide the client with
personal service as well as competi-
tive price in coverage due to the
availability of several insurance
markets. The majority of insurance
companies which Seaforth Insur-
ance represents are located within a
50 -mile radius, said Ken.
Of course, the business also pro-
vides residents with good, local
service as well as good, low rates.
