Not Your Average Hardware Store
We were excited to learn all about W.S. Jenks & Son and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the Communications Manager, Mike.
The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes W.S. Jenks & Son stand apart from its competitors. Mike said:
“There is not another inner-city hardware store this well equipped. We have a larger inventory and are a legitimate one-stop-shop for all homeowner needs. We have wonderful customer service! The combination of inventory and above adequate service will ensure you don’t go anywhere else for your hardware needs.”
Mike also told us about their business mission, saying:
“Our primary objective is to provide good products and services as well as information and advice to all clients.”
Mike also thoughtfully added:
“People enjoy having a good local retail store. We love being a member of the community. We are good neighbors!”
Building Success By Perfecting The Basics
In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, W.S. Jenks & Son has spread the word about who they are and what they do through old-school methods of marketing! Mike told us that they try a little bit of everything, but that their customer service and inventory truly make them stand out to their clients.
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as W.S. Jenks & Son has managed to. We asked if Mike could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:
“The most important thing that you have to do as a small business is to perfect your niche. Don’t grow too quickly. There are a lot of 7/11’s in the country, and their little 750 square foot store operations are highly successful for a reason. They don’t do too much. You must perfect the basics.”
Congratulations to W.S. Jenks & Son for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Mike for taking the time to speak with us!
