Additional beach wheelchairs added to rental fleet
Beach power rentals opened for business in April of 2009. At that time we had five motorized beach wheelchairs in our fleet. By mid-June we were aware that five chairs would not be enough. By the end of August, we had nine full-time chairs in our rental fleet. At times, we still had to turn down business because we did not have enough chairs.
Since this is a completely new business without a track record of any kind, we had no idea of what to expect. We take our business very seriously. There are so many people who cannot get to the beach for one reason or another. As soon as word got out to the condos and the convention and visitors Bureau and to many of the locals in Gulf Shores, our business began to jump.
During the off-season, we plan to build an additional nine chairs, bringing our total to 20 motorized beach wheelchairs. We hope this will satisfy the additional demand. If it does not, we will continue to build beach wheelchairs until we have enough to give anyone wants one, a chair.
We had a lot of customers who traveled from Panama City to Gulf Shores in order to rent one of our chairs. We appreciate your business and all of the referrals you have sent to us. Thank you!
