Fayetteville, AR - March 17, 2009
Dear Leisure Living Professional,
We’re pleased to announce that our outdoor kitchen product line is truly new and improved!
- 100% made in the USA!
- The cabinet shell in now made from HDPE (high density polyethylene).
- Pulls, hinges and drawer slides have been upgraded to 304 stainless steel.
- 72" x 28" grill cabinet can be built to accommodate your drop in grill.
- Infinity 30” & 36” grill options and 2 new side burner options
- 3 new cabinet options
- No minimum order
We’ve closed our production facility in China and now manufacture our outdoor kitchens here in Arkansas. The wide swings in commodity pricing, freight costs and shipping times experienced last year all contributed to our decision. Not only will we increase our local employment, our ability to control lead times, improve quality and offer greater flexibility will result from this new direction.
Our cabinet shell has been upgraded to HDPE – a 100% post consumer recycled product made in the USA. This new material will not fade, crack or deteriorate and is much stronger than the old CPVC stock.
While our kitchens are sold throughout the United States, sales to the coastal areas are high. In response, we’ve upgraded our drawer slides, pulls and hinge to 304 stainless steel and all fasteners to galvanized or Ruspert coated products. This improvement provides excellent performance in the harshest conditions and confidence to you that your Customer will be pleased and satisfied with their A&B kitchen for many years.
For those of you who asked us to make our cabinets to your drop in grill specifications, we listened. We pleased to now offer a 72" wide grill cabinet that will accommodate a wide range of premium grill manufacturers including Beefeater, Bull, DCS, Firemagic, Kitchen Aid, Luxor, Lynx, Napoleon, Solaire, TEC, Twin Eagles and Vidalia. For those who aren’t associated with a premium grill, we have the very fine line of Infinity grills and side burners to offer.
Changes to the 2009 line include the 902 door/drawer unit being replaced with a side burner cabinet. The 905 and 907 now have a flush top to increase work space as the waste receptacle and bucket have been deleted. And the 908 cart has been replaced by the double door & drawer unit.
Our new brochure is in production and will be available soon - contact us today for a supply for your location. And for the month of April, we’re offering a 10% discount for your prepaid showroom display.
Good Selling!
