GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – With summer in the review mirror, it is not too early to start thinking winter.
After record-setting snowfall in April, the staff at Kimps Ace Hardware in Green Bay are busing fixing and selling snowblowers.
Service Manager Wes Kimps says that is because people do not want to be caught off guard.
“People are bringing their snow blowers in and people are buying snow blowers too.”
He says many people come in with a big worry. “The overall fear is that we are not going to have anything left.”
Kimps says many people are buying bigger and newer snowblowers after being caught in heavy snow five months ago.
For those who looking to test their equipment, Kimps says it comes down to one simple concept.
“If the unit starts and runs fine, you are ready to go.”
Service appointments are already starting to book up.
“We are sitting about a week and a half to two weeks out.”
Kimps Ace Hardware has already serviced 200 customers snow throwers this year.
