Right here in Medina is one of the nation’s largest and oldest stores for home resort products, The Place. Since 1967, this second-generation, family-owned and operated company has earned thousands of clients' respect and business. To be candid, and maybe even a little bit cliché, there is simply no better place to go for hot tubs, spas, fireplaces and outdoor cooking than The Place.
Their product selection is magnificent, but it is their loving care and their professionalism that sets them apart. Many resources are spent on training to make sure clients are guided to the right product for their needs and application, plus safely and meticulously installed. That commitment is revealed with The Place having the most nationally certified hearth professionals in Ohio.
Their offerings include just about anything you could want for your outdoor space. Andrea Reedy, one of the founder’s daughters and President of The Place, reports that since the onset of the pandemic, home products have become super hot commodities. Hey, if you have to be quarantined at home, you might as well be relaxing in a pool, hot tub or swim spa! Many pool stores are already sold out for 2021 and even into 2022! Instead of being left “high and dry," families are upgrading to swim spas.
Swim Spas
For the past several years, swim spas have been making waves in the outdoor industry. Swim spas provide all the benefits of a pool plus a propulsion system that creates a current. This current can be used for many types of exercise including swimming, water aerobics, walking and more; it can also be used as a relaxing lazy river or for a rejuvenating massage. Plus, you don't have to worry about kids with blue lips and sunburns. You can set the temperature to be warm for the kids yet refreshing for you. Additionally, there are covers that can create partial shade over the swimming area.
Unlike an in-ground or above-ground pool, swim spas can be used, in Ohio, all year long. In addition, The Place carries Hydropool Swim Spas that are self-cleaning. Any previous pool owner understands the value of that! The price point of a swim spa is between that of an above-ground and in-ground pool. Swim spa sizes range from 12-feet-long by 8-feet-wide to 21-feet-long by 8-feet-wide. Also, a swim spa is installed in one day and when you move, you can take it with you!
Hot Tubs
Instead of watching another television re-run, get a massaging, heat-penetrating de-stress treatment in your hot tub. Gaze at the stars while catching up with your loved ones. Plan your day from your hot tub, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise. This year, memories will be made safely in your backyard instead of at an over-crowded resort.
“If you take your family to Disney World, you'll spend just as much as you would on a hot tub or maybe even a swim spa," says Andrea. "The vacation is over in a week; the spa lasts a decade or more!"
Fortunately, The Place has hundreds of hot tubs and swim spas on order with four different manufacturers. Truckloads are coming in regularly, so with premium hot tubs for every budget, chances are you’ll find one for your family.
Take a dip before you buy! That's right, visit The Place and try out the swim spa or hot tub you have in mind; be sure to bring your bathing suit!
