Perfect Store Wish List

My perfect hot tub store would need … a Starbucks! Just kidding!

• All my hot tub models on display.

• One model from each line warm and running for wet testing. 

• A cozy seating area with drinks available to clients and equipped with an information center housing brochures, pamphlets, how-to guides, product information and descriptions. 

• A small play area to keep kids busy but still close and in view of parents while they shop and finalize contracts.

• Separate cash and water testing desks to make for a quick in-and-out for those picking up something. 

• Outside pick-up lockers for customers to grab online orders outside of business hours by using a code. 

• A gym/yoga area for staff to keep fit — mind, body and soul. 

• An outside area for pets to relieve themselves and an inside area with water dishes. We believe in being pet-friendly and not leaving pets in a hot car.

• At least three working models: 110v, 220v and swim spa.

• A separate private area for wet testing the spas, designed with the backyard experience — firepit, barbeque and outdoor kitchen.

• Carry outdoor furniture or partner with a third party.

• Carry more than one manufacturer with different price points or options.

• Offer pool and spa accessories and chemicals.

• Plenty of walking space, so you can move from item to item with ease.

• An area for overstock, so the showroom doesn’t look cluttered.

• A door for curbside pick-up for pool chemicals and salt, with a convenient way to pick up and load large items. 

• Plenty of window space for after-hours customers.

• Lots of outdoor lights.

• A large parking lot for special events.
