Moffatt & Powell new Canadian Dealer for Diamond Essence.

May 25th, 2011

Moffatt & Powell Rona

Otter Creek is pleased to announce that Moffat & Powell Rona in London, Ontario is a new dealer for the Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile as of June 1st, 2011.

Moffatt & Powell Limited was a partnership formed in February 1956 by J. Keith Moffatt and Melvin Powell in the village of Watford. The core business was selling lumber, cement and coal. This trade had a sound footing established by Hiram Moffatt (Keith’s father) who had been operating the J.H. Moffatt enterprise at the same location since 1939. With a staff of four, including the two owners, the business flourished in small business quarters serving the farming and building communities in Lambton County and Sarnia.

In November 1960, a new showroom and warehouse facility was constructed at the present location, 494 Front Street in Watford. The Company continued to expand with the opening of a new and larger retail home centre and lumberyard on April 15, 1968, at 540 Albert Street in Strathroy. The successful operation of this Branch funded the third location on Hwy. 8-east of Mitchell, on November 1, 1973.

In January 1982, a merger was concluded between D.M. Powell Limited in Strathroy and Moffatt & Powell Limited. This increased the total number of stores to 5, with the Caradoc Street location in Strathroy and the anticipated opening of a branch at 1290 Trafalgar Street in London. Immediately after the merger, the Goderich and Exeter locations were acquired from the Conklin Home Centre Company.

David Powell purchased the shareholdings of Melvin Powell in Moffatt & Powell Limited and is today the partner of J. Keith Moffatt.

In March 1984, Moffatt & Powell Limited purchased the assets of the Harold Warwick Lumber Company at 126 Tillson Avenue, Tillsonburg. This gave the Company additional geographical coverage. With stores strategically located in and around London, the economic hub of southwestern Ontario, we are well situated to serve the needs of our contractor, farmer, commercial, and do-it-yourself (D.I.Y.) customer base.

The current Head Office and store location at 1282 Hyde Park Road was opened in 1996.

In 2006, Moffatt and Powell Limited celebrated their 50th anniversary, culminating with a two day event held at the Western Fair grounds. The first day was focused on trade professionals. On the second day, the traditional builder show was opened to the retail public for the first time, with great success. We at Moffatt and Powell Limited are excited about the opportunities for the future growth of our company and look forward to providing excellent customer service and product value for the next 50 years!

Hot Tub Brazilian Walnut Flooring Tiles

April 23rd, 2011

Hot Tub Brazilian Walnut Flooring Tiles

I have a hot tub in my home and I needed to cover up the existing floor with something that would look nice and be comfortable on the feet and most importantly take any water spills that would not damage the floor.  I came across the “Diamond Essence” Ipe decking tiles at www.myocstore.com and thought they would work well for my hot tub floor area. I contacted them and discussed the installation and cost and they assured me it would be the right material for this type of project. I ordered a sample and when I received I was convinced this was the right product. The wood was made of Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) and the underside had a hardened plastic that had exterior edges that allowed the wood tiles to lock together. I finished my project in a day and had a great looking floor when I was done. The water spills have not been an issue on the material and I can not believe how well the material looks and how solid it is. I compared their tile to some other competitors selling the same thing and the wood tile they sell is 1/8″ thicker. I’m very happy with the service I received and the material was exactly what they said it was and what it would provide.

Barbecues Galore Joins Growing List Of Canadian Dealers For Diamond Essence Ipe Decking Tile.

April 4th, 2011

Otter Creek is proud to announce they have a new Canadian Dealer for their Diamond Essence Ipe Decking Tile.   Barbecues Galore has a long and steeped history when it comes to selling BBQ’s and related outdoor cooking accessories and we are proud to have them as a dealer for our product. See their story below……………

We started out as a distributor of barbecues to retailers around the country. But as their numbers decreased, we got serious about the retail business, ourselves.

We were pretty sure that people – yup, people just like you – wanted a store with a really wide selection of barbecues. So our stores now offer the widest selection in town. Maybe even in the whole country.

We figured you’d like the kind of service you get at a specialty store – but we also knew that you wouldn’t want to pay specialty store prices. So we priced our products competitively. Which means pretty much the same prices on the same models at that “tire” place or the “de-pot” and even the “wall” store.

We loaded up on accessories, outdoor furnishings and all the things that make a store like ours a fun place to shop. Fun? Well, yeah. Not only will you find pigtails and hog dog rollers at Barbecues Galore; you will also find more varieties of wood chips and BBQ sauces than you probably knew existed.

Our staff had to become more knowledgeable than our competitors so now, they have the highest BBQ-IQ you’ll find. Our customers tell us that our staff are a pleasure to deal with and frankly, we agree. But then, we are kind of biased.

Of course we stock lots of parts – for the barbecues we carry – and for many of our competitors’ barbecues, too. And if we don’t have the part you need, we often know where to order it.

We figure that while you’re cooking up some good times with friends and family, it’s our job to reflect that same good feeling in our stores. We’ve been growing since 1979 so we must be doing somethings right.

Barbecues Galore is our company’s outdoor story. For the inside story, you might want to check out our fireplaces. We offer an amazing array of wood and gas burning models. Of course, we arrange for installation and help with all the details. After all, Woods Fireplaces have been warming up the temperature and enhancing the beauty of homes in Alberta and Ontario, for over 60 years.
