Slide-Lok of Tidewater Becomes First Slide-Lok Master Dealership in State of Virginia

October 26, 2007

Slide-Lok of Tidewater becomes latest Master Dealer of industry leading garage cabinets, garage flooring, closet systems and home organization products from Slide-Lok

Phoenix, AZ - October 26, 2007 - Slide-Lok continues its effort to expand into every major market with the addition of Slide-Lok of Tidewater. Slide-Lok of Tidewater will proudly serve the eastern seaboard of Virginia, including the major cities of Norfolk, Newport News and Virginia Beach.

Slide-Lok of Tidewater will be headed up by Allan Auvil, who brings almost 30 years of home interiors experience to the table. Auvil sees the garage interiors industry as a growing trend and a relatively non-saturated market. Auvil stated, "We were looking for a company to partner with to 'fix up' the last room in the house—the garage. Slide-Lok has products that I believe in and their marketing and dealer support is the best in the industry." Slide-Lok is taking all of the necessary steps to keep their position as the foremost brand in the garage interiors, garage cabinets, garage floor coating and home storage industries. A tremendous stride forward in that branding effort comes from Slide-Lok's recent licensing agreement with the top drivers of NASCAR. Auvil added, "Because of the national awareness of Slide-Lok's brand, I see Slide-Lok and my business flourishing in the years to come."

Because of Auvil's previous home interiors business, Tidewater Interiors, he has already built relationships with both residential and commercial clients and looks to capitalize on both outlets. Auvil explains, "Over the years my company has built strong relationships with both home owners and home builders. I feel that the Slide-Lok brand will allow me to service both of those channels, and I look forward to introducing the Slide-Lok products to each."

Brian Strayer, president of Slide-Lok stated, "Allan brings a vast knowledge of the home interiors market and a great business sense. We are excited to have a Master Dealer in his part of Virginia with the wealth of experience that Allan has when it comes to home owners and home builders."
