Thank you for visiting our web page and for taking the time to get to know our team members. As a resident of this community for over fourteen years, I am constantly reminded of how fortunate we are to live in an area where people can count on personal assistance from our local businesses. It is refreshing to know the people who fix your furnace, roof your house, coach your kids, and service your vehicles and to be able to say "hello" when you recognize them around town, in the store, and at church.
Our mission is simple: to provide a shopping, buying and service experience in a comfortable, supportive environment. Our wider commitment is to be good stewards in our community through our business relationships. By placing your trust with us, we are able to satisfy this commitment; for your trust, we are very grateful.
Please contact me at peterr@colford.com or at (360)423-4321 should you have any questions or if you need assistance here at our store. And thank you for your business!
