Do you know what Walmart & Porsche have in common?
They are both family owned. We mean something vastly different.
So, what do we mean when we say “Family Owned & Operated”?
At The Shower Shop every Monday – Friday you will find Mike Smith (Owner) and Jill Smith (Sales Professional), husband and wife, hands-on in the office, cutting glass/mirror, putting on a tool belt, and in customers’ homes estimating.
We do not mean our family just controls the business…we are meeting first-hand with all customers. We are not too big to know about every customer.
At The Shower Shop, you will find a shorter chain of command compared to other Shower Door companies.
Because we have one location and a small (yet mighty) crew, customer information travels quick & all ideas are openly discussed with Mike & Jill.
With other companies, you may only ever meet with the face of the company once, if you are lucky.
Every customer who walks in the door can have the opportunity to work with Mike and/or Jill.
That is the sort of thing that is possible when you are part of a family-owned & operated business.
Both Jill & Mike are long-term residents of Sarasota. They met in Sarasota over 30 years ago. Together they opened The Shower Shop in 2002. Each year they’ve expand their business and relationships.
The sense of long-term connection between our sales professionals, crews, and customers keeps us highly motivated, accountable, and dedicated.
