Pool Party Eh?

Global Warming.  The phrase seems to be everywhere these days, and oddly enough, despite the popularity of Phoenix, Las Vegas, and general beach vacations, it’s not usually seen as a good thing.  That is unless you are in the pool industry in Edmonton, Alberta.  John Huxley, is the local owner and operator of Edmonton Canada Pools LLC, a local pool cleaning, installation, and supply store in the region.  He says that global warming couldn’t have come at a better time. 

            “I’ve really been struggling these last few years, what with only two months out of the year being ice free in the backyard pools, it really makes for a tough sell to the customer.  But with this latest explosion of global warming almost another whole two weeks of warmer summer temperatures has been happening up here, and people are really enjoying hanging about in their shorts for longer than a few days eh.  Let me tell you, it has changed my finances for life, I may even be able to send my pet moose to community college.” 

John told Business Company Magazine, that his sales have increased 62% from the last year, and his hot tub sales have only decreased a mere 13%, despite the highs in Edmonton nearly reaching a scorching 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 

This just goes to show you the old business principal that even dark clouds mean you can still swim in the pool.  If this is the results of the “Very Scary Global Warming” then for the sake of our small business future, I’m all for it.  Better Suntans.  Better Business.  Better Backyard Canadian Pools.
