Thunder Cycle and Sport, Picton's hottest bike shop and full-service dealership, has been offering sales, service, parts and accessories for boats, motorcycles, ATVs and snowmobiles for more than three years. U-Haul offers the Eldridges a great method for introducing their business to new customers moving to the community. For this reason, Frank and Darlene felt that the chance to partner with a first-tier company like U-Haul would be a great fit for their company.
"We made the decision to add U-Haul truck and trailer rentals along with moving supplies because of the company's well-established name and the reputation it enjoys with its customers," stated Frank and Darlene. "The visibility of the U-Haul product not only brought customers into Thunder Cycle and Sport, but added services to an underutilized building."
"U-Haul is proud to be associated with a quality independent business like Thunder Cycle and Sport, which has been established in our community since 2004," exclaimed Jake Spelic, president, U-Haul Company of Eastern Ontario. "Frank and Darlene are a great example of the type of successful business relationships U-Haul has established in order to build and maintain a strong network of over 14,000 independent dealers across North America."
