As we head into Thanksgiving and the busy holiday season ahead, we want to offer an expression of gratitude for all of you in Central Iowa who bring us wonderful project opportunities. We truly appreciate your ideas, patience, and patronage. We are thankful for the opportunity to work with you to bring your outdoor living dreams to fruition.
Archadeck has been building here for nearly 30 years - 22 years under the current ownership. A lot has changed over these years. But, in the classic case of “the more things change, the more they stay the same,” I harken back to Thanksgiving-time blog posts in 2009 and 2010.
In 2009, I offered that year’s Thanksgiving greeting by comparing the traditional pilgrim story of the first Thanksgiving to outdoor living - the first deck party. It's as relevant today as it was 16 years ago. The issues and scenarios may be different, but it's always good to slow down and take stock of what and who we’re thankful for.
Be thankful for those who help and inspire us on our journeys.
Be thankful that we can help and inspire others on their journeys.
Our success over the years is a testament to a comment made in 2010’s Thanksgiving blog post about continuing "to keep doing it right….fresh….and interesting.” We are also thankful for the franchise system we operate under, Empower Brands, that consistently supports our business and our clients in that pursuit.
If you’re interested in some light reading over the holiday, links to these blog posts are noted below:
If you’re interested in learning more about our support system and how we use that to develop outdoor living spaces you’ll be thankful for, feel free to reach out.
In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving!
Cheers to all the turkey you can eat, to all the football you can watch, and to all your family and friends you can share Thanksgiving with.
