After renovating the Toronto location in March, Mister Vacuum got started on its Pickering expansion, now a 5,500-square-foot warehouse and showroom. Mister Vacuum president Paul Aube (pronounced obey) thinks the Pickering facilities are "second to none". A well-presented showroom greets you when you enter. The service centre at the side entrance is both relaxing and comfor- table. You can have a coffee as your repairs are done while you wait - if there's only a small problem. Vacuums brought in for repairs Saturday can be picked , up Tuesday afternoon. "We repair every make and model," Aube boasts. "We also modify machines for a par- ticular job." Sales are the main- stay of Aube's business. "We started this com- pany 10 years ago at flea markets. The demand for our product, especially our recon- ditioned units was overwhelming." Aube says, "We can offer the same units purchased at depar- tment stores for 40 per cent to 70 per cent off the manufacturer's selling price." Mister Vacuumn's 7725 warran- ty is "virtually un- beatable", he says. It includes a seven-day money-back guarantee, a seven-day full ex- change for any reason, a two-year unconditional guarantee on parts and labor on every vacuum, and a five-year motor warranty for any vacuum purchased for $250 or more. "Be it a new, recon- ditioned, repossessed, industrial or commer- cial vacuum, you can find it all at Mister Vacuum," Aube says. Prices start at $59.95 for canister and upright models to $399.95 for the more expensive units, still saving you 40 to 70 per cent. "Built-in vacuum systems are becoming a fast-growing business for us," Aube says. "This area, with all the new housing, has roughed-in systems, making self-installation a snap." The units Mister Vacuum sells are Canadian made in Guelph, Ontario with the emphasis on quality. A five-year warranty is included with all the units. Mister Vacuum recently opened an outlet in Oshawa -- the firm's third permanent location. And, Aube says, there's "no end in sight. We have three more locations opening in 1985." Aube points out, "This is not a franchise business. I own the company 100 per cent. CONT'D ON PG. 14 e FREE PRESS. "SALUTE TO PROGRESS". WEDNESDAY. MARCIH 13. 1985.
