| Suncoast Vacuum opened its doors in
1977 as "Suncoast Vacuum & Appliance" in Port
Charlotte, Florida, by Charles "Chuck" & Susan
"Sue" Drexler. Chuck hired high school student Paul
Froeschle to help repair vacuums and appliances after school
and on week-ends. In 1980, Chuck moved to a larger store at
3500A Tamiami Trail (US 41) in Port Charlotte, Florida. He dropped
appliances and decided to work strictly with vacuum cleaners
shortly thereafter. Paul continued to work for him, and in 1988,
married Sue's sister Joy. Chuck moved to California in 1988,
and Paul bought Suncoast from him at that time. Business continued
to grow, and in 1996, Paul took over the entire building at
3500 Tamiami Trail. Paul has continued to foster customer relations;
his salespeople send personalized thank-you letters to new customers,
and they are always there to answer their questions and service
their vacuum cleaners. Suncoast has come full circle, as this
year we will begin again to offer select appliances from Miele.
Thank you for your interest in Suncoast Vacuum! We hope to
serve you for many years to come!

Thinking they don't make them like
they used to? They do -- you just can't buy them cheap at a
department store. Did your parents own a cleaner that lasted
for 30 years? That's probably because, back when they bought
it, the only kind of vacuum cleaners were quality cleaners.
They didn't have cheap vacuums. Many times, people assume that,
if they purchase an inexpensive vacuum at a super store, it
should work the same and last as long as their parents' vacuum
from long ago, especially if it's the same brand. That's just
not going to happen. The good news is, quality now comes cheaper
than it did back then. In the 40's through the 60's, vacuum
cleaner companies frequently advertised monthly payment plans
along with their product. Most people could not afford to purchase
a vacuum cleaner with one payment. Even today's quality vacuum
cleaners are less expensive than that, and they are more featured.
Although Suncoast sells all kinds of cleaners for all kinds
of budgets, we urge you to explore what it would be like to
own a quality cleaner. Your expensive carpets will last longer,
you won't have the headache of reparing or replacing your cleaner
all the time, and you'll have the pleasure of using a cleaner
which makes your vacuuming jobs easier and faster than ever
before.
