Local business owner, Ron Stevens, has announced the closure of his business, Vacuum Center and Shade Center in Orillia. Products will be on sale as a token of appreciation to their customers. Discounts start at 5% off and will increase by a certain percentage each week until the shop closes on April 30.
The 83-year-old former mayor of Orillia has decided to retire and spend more time with his family. He and his wife had discussed their future and decided it was time to wind down and enjoy their retirement.
“We felt it was time for us to retire, and that's exactly what we're trying to do very gracefully."
Stevens and his wife, Karen, spent the past 32 years in the lighting industry before starting the Vacuum Center and Shade Center from the ground up with the support of their friends.
Stevens said he’s grateful for the community's support over the past three and a half years.
The Vacuum Centre carries a wide range of vacuums, from canister, upright models and comprehensive central systems.
They offer products from leading industry brands, such as Eureka, Simplicity, Neura Air, Beam, Samsung, and more, to help customers complete household chores quickly and efficiently.
And all their vacuums come with a manufacturer's warranty, providing customers with peace of mind.
"Our goal is to be a one-stop-shop for all your vacuum needs," said Stevens. "Whether you're looking for a high-end vacuum or simply need to replace your old one, we've got you covered."
