Leading Online Pond and Water Garden Supply Retailer Opens Brick and Mortar Retail Showroom

Oct. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Victorville, Calif. -- Cal Ponds, a leading online pond and water garden supply retailer, announces the grand opening of their affiliated retail showroom, California Ponds and Water Gardens in Victorville, CA.  “The opening of our retail showroom allows our customers to view the quality of our pond supplies in person rather than simply viewing photographs on a website,” says Daniel Augsburger, Product Support Manager for Cal Ponds.  “We’ve had customers drive well over 100 miles to visit our showroom,” says Augsburger.  “And the support from our local customers has been amazing.”  

California Ponds and Water Gardens is the only stocking dealer in North America for Advantage Bead Filter, Advantage Plug and Play, and other quality Koi pond filtration products from Sacramento Koi.  “Actually having an Advantage Filter on display in our retail showroom is a claim none of our online-only competitors can make,” says Augsburger.  “There is no substitute to hands-on experience with a product,” states Augsburger.  “And there is a big difference between actually knowing a product and simply peddling it on your website.”  Cal Ponds offers extensive hands-on experience and knowledge with the complete line of Advantage Bead Filtration systems.  “We actually have Advantage Filters installed on our own personal ponds,” Augsburger states.

Mizuho Koi Food, a premium quality fish food imported from Japan, is another product exclusively offered at Cal Ponds.  “We have heard about the quality of Mizuho Koi Food for years and are excited to finally have an opportunity to make this product line available to customers in the USA,” says Augsburger.  There is a lot of competition in the market place when it comes to Koi Food, but many of our customer care deeply about the quality of food they are feeding to their Koi and only want the best.”  Two of the most popular Koi food brands offered by Cal Ponds include Dainichi Koi Food and TOMiGAi Koi Food.  “Our inventory of Dainichi Koi Food is the freshest in the country,” Augsburger states.  Cal Ponds receives new inventory of Dainichi Koi Food direct from the manufacturer on a weekly basis and new shipments of TOMiGAi on a frequent basis a well.

Cal Ponds is an Authorized OASE Retailer and offers the full line of quality OASE products.  "We are actually one of very few authorized OASE retailers in North America and the only authorized OASE retailer in California," Augsburger says.  "OASE Pondovac 4 is one of our most popular items and is ideal for both Koi ponds and water gardens."  OASE Pondovac 4 is a pond vacuum system designed specifically for use in backyard fish ponds.  Featuring a patented two chamber design, Pondovac 4 allows pond and water garden owners to clean your ponds in half the time.  "Our customers want to spend their time enjoying their ponds rather than cleaning them," states Augsburger.  "The Pondovac is the perfect choice for pond owners who have little spare time to spend vacuuming their ponds."

“Having a brick and mortar business is a different animal than running an online business,” Augsburger states.  “It has definitely been a learning curve for us, but we are also exciting about the possibilities it provides us to provide an even higher level of customer service to pond and water garden enthusiasts nationwide.”
