MERRILLVILLE, IN, September 29, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Just one month later, a weather system related to Hurricane Ike dropped up to 10 inches of rain on communities in the region. The massive flooding caused by the rain caused evacuations and damage severe enough for President Bush to declare the region a disaster area.
For local DirectBuy franchise owners Jamie and Laurie Gagan, watching the news and hearing stories from their friends and neighbors has been heartbreaking. They knew they wanted to be able to help families in the area rebuild their homes, and knew that their business model offered the perfect solution.
"To see families in the area suffer such great loss, both monetary and emotional, was devastating," says Laurie Gagan. "Jamie and I knew that we had to help."
That's why the Gagans are making a special offer to area families who are needing to replace flooring, furniture, appliances, electronics, sporting goods, accessories, and more - a discount of $990 off of the price of membership to DirectBuy of Southlake.
DirectBuy is a members-only showroom and design center that enables consumers to purchase directly from more than 700 top manufacturers and suppliers of items like home furnishings, flooring, lighting, plumbing, cabinetry, appliances, electronics, outdoor equipment and furniture, accessories and more. Members of DirectBuy save up to 50% and more on the products they need for their homes. In addition, members of DirectBuy have access to design, delivery, and installation services via their membership.
"We see members save money with their memberships every day," says Laurie. "So it makes perfect sense that area families needing to replace items and remodel rooms damaged by recent events come to our showroom to shop. It's a warm, friendly environment, where your children can play safely in our Kids Zone, while you enjoy a cup of Starbucks coffee, some freshly-baked cookies, and shop."
Homeowners in the area interested in taking advantage of the discounted DirectBuy membership can call 219-769-2486, or email dsone@directbuy.com.
