Hello from all of us at eCentral Stores Inc./Patio Lane! We hope you and your loved ones are well. We are all fortunate to be healthy while experiencing our new normal living and working conditions.
All aspects of our operations are continuing, following strict CDC guidelines. We appreciate your business as we are here to take and fulfill orders. Our showroom is currently open by appointment, keeping in mind social distancing and the continued well-being of everyone.
Several weeks ago, critical choices were made to protect our work and home families by developing a strategy to continue operations while doing our best to remain healthy for the immediate future. We purchased bulk commercial sanitizing supplies and started twice daily sanitizing of our 22,000 square foot facility and vehicles, implemented CDC guidelines for personal sanitizing and social distancing, reduced and staggered shifts, and developed remote work capabilities.
We are cautiously pursuing PPE (personal protective equipment) products, as we balance our concern for the safety of our employees with the community's need for these products. We have developed a face shield currently offered on Etsy and we are receiving new fabrics for prototype masks, gowns, and room screen dividers. There is anti-microbial fabric available here at Patio Lane, and we will soon be re-outfitting our Showoff Canopy Portable 10 x 10 Tent with anti-microbial fabric.
We have been taking advantage of every opportunity to support our customers now and in the future by applying for government funding programs to help endure this situation, and feel very confident we made the right choices at the right time to support our resolve to persevere.
We are asking our customers (and your customers) to be understanding, and at times patient, due to the conditions under which we continue to live. It’s our resolve to continue operations and work through this together, healthy and safe.
As we all shelter in place, please continue to consider products that might further enhance your homes such as new outdoor cushions, umbrellas, trellis covers, and other fabric shade products.
We appreciate your business and wish you the very best.
The Schechner Family
