| 5/3/2025 |  Alert: Growing Business! Mark your calendar to visit this Saturday May 3 :) @kevin.covert and Jeremy Russo envisioned one day owning a business together. Finding the most fitting business opportunity was their biggest challenge. When they heard the possibility of G&B Pool and Spa going up for sale, they immediately knew this was a dream come true. They are currently working with the owners and have a proposed purchase date of April 2026. In the meantime, they have been endlessly brainstorming the idea to add an additional service to G&B. They want to offer a service that will benefit the already outstanding community of Portland and other surrounding communities. Jeremy and Kevin are proud to introduce G&B Pool and Spa and Water Conditioning. This will include the sale and installation of water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, salt sales, and whole house filters. After extensive research they found that in Portland and surrounding areas, the most common well water issues included chemical contaminants such as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), high nitrate levels, arsenic, cloudy water, odors, and bad taste. One of the many services offered will be a free in-home water analysis and consultation. Jeremy and Kevin will be able to provide a water treatment plan specific to family needs such as the reduction of dryness and skin irritation, softer hair, better tasting water, and prolong the life of appliances. Jeremy and Kevin invite you to their soft opening on Saturday May 3rd from 12-3pm. This event will take place at G&B Pool and Spa located at 826 E. Grand River Portland. This is a prime opportunity to come meet the water specialist themselves! The first twenty customers who order a water softener system will receive free salt for one year! more info... |
