Directbuy of Providence Offers “play” Areas for Parents and Kids
Author: Steve Dubin  | Posted: 15-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 12 | Rating: (181) (?)
And while it can be a lot of fun to pick out your new kitchen and 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 of Providence has developed a “Kids Zone” area in their showrooms, 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: books, puzzles and games. The Kids Zone also includes a television with VCR so children of members can watch 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 Heng Meas, co-owner of DirectBuy of Providence.
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.
“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 Meas. “The Kids Zone and donations to youth groups like the Boys & Girls Club 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. Conveniently located at 222 Metro Center Boulevard in Warwick, DirectBuy offers consumers a comfortable, welcoming setting where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
