Directbuy of Pittsburgh Offers “play” Areas for Parents and Kids
Author: Nancy Sheerin  | Posted: 21-03-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 58 | Rating: (68)  (?) 
And while it can be a lot of fun to pick out your new kitchen, the new floors for your bathroom, it also requires your full attention. That’s a luxury members with children don’t always have. That’s why DirectBuy has developed a “Kids Zone” area in their clubs, so parents can focus on the task at hand and kids can enjoy the DirectBuy experience, too.
Though not a supervised area, the Kids Zone features a number of things to keep school-age children occupied and entertained: puzzles, games and toys. The Kids Zone also includes a flat screen television with DVD player so children of members can watch TV or movies.
“Let’s face it, most kids would rather go to the dentist than watch their parents shop for their next home improvement project. By the same token, it’s difficult for members with children to get the most out of the experience and do the research they need to do if they’re concerned about the kids getting fidgety. The Kids Zone gives children of DirectBuy members a place to play games, watch TV or even make new friends with other members’ kids while the grown-ups have their ‘fun’,” said Doug Barrante, co-owner of DirectBuy of Pittsburgh.
Creating fun things to do for children is nothing new for DirectBuy. DirectBuy franchises across North America regularly donate equipment to youth organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs and children’s hospitals. Most recently, DirectBuy of Pittsburgh donated a Decora Kitchen, a $10,000 retail value, to a silent auction to benefit Providence Heights Alpha School. The winning bid raised $6,000 for the school.
“Because we are so entrenched in the community, we have an even greater incentive to make this a one-of-a-kind, unique shopping experience because many of the members are our friends, neighbors, even relatives,” said Barrante. “The Kids Zone and donations to Providence Heights Alpha School and other youth-oriented groups are just an extension of that philosophy.”
Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. With three convenient locations in the area, DirectBuy offers consumers a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
