Local Entrepreneurs Mickey & Lynn Jahelka Triple Store Space To Improve Customer Service

NANAIMO, BC (Monday, February 20, 2006) - The Home Medical Equipment business at MEDIchair Nanaimo experienced strong growth again in 2005, so much so that the company out grew its existing premises. "Our long term strategy of enhancing customer service is the primary reason why we have moved into a new store with 10,000 square feet, half of which we turned into a customer showroom," says Co-owner Mickey Jahelka. The new MEDIchair Nanaimo store that houses retail, rentals and service is located at the Co-op Centre at 2517 Bowen Rd. Jahelka's wife and co-owner Lynn agrees. "Service is key in our business. This is a very people oriented business that requires highly trained and knowledgeable staff to be successful. Having one of the largest home medical equipment showrooms on the island to display and demonstrate the latest products is part of that service commitment." "Our customers have told us that they want to see and trial products before they purchase them. That's why our new retail space demonstrates the latest home medical equipment in a variety of settings that include the bathroom, bedroom and living room. We also provide ample space for people to properly evaluate mobility products such as walkers, wheel chairs and electric scooters." Lynn Jahelka believes that there is a strong future for MEDIchair Nanaimo. "There are several factors at play here. One, the elderly are staying in their homes longer than ever before. Two, hospitals are discharging patients who have had surgeries or recovering from injuries quicker than ever before. Three, many Canadians continue to choose Vancouver Island as their preferred retirement location." Mickey Jahelka added that MEDIchair Nanaimo has plans to renovate its current space at 2110 Northfield Rd. and will re-open it for sales and consignment of pre-owned home medical equipment.
