Strobler opened their doors in October of 1996 in the former AJ’s location on Devine Street in the heart of Shandon, SC. The store has been locally owned and operated ever since by George Fisher. George understands the importance of customer service and dependability, something that has helped keep him in business for over 13 years.
“I live near the store, my family goes to church downtown, and my kids are in school just down the road, so we really feel like our store is not only a part of this community but also an extension of us. When you have been in business this long, you really start to develop relationships with your customers.”
The new showroom on Forest Drive is much larger – 15,000 square feet of accessible space for customers, including an on site clearance center and warehouse.
