It's Always Nice to Get Kudos From Great Customers!

Every once in a while companies come across great customers who come back again and again. Here at Play Mart, one such customer is Harper Construction in San Diego, California. We received this kind word from Paul Olson, VP of Quality Assurance, and we thought we'd pass it along,

“What a great experience it was to work with the wonderful people from Play Mart.  I could not have asked for more from the estimating phase all the way though the installation.  The honesty and personal attention I received from this family owned business was top notch.  Our customers love the equipment that Play Mart provided and Play Mart has stood behind their equipment every step of the way.  Thank you Play Mart!!”

While we experience great connections with our customers on a daily basis, it's fantastic to receive such positive feedback from time to time. Thanks Paul!
