alyssamma Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 All, Many of you know that Marjorie had illnesses/deaths in the family and that has affected the quality of work from Midwest. Well, it has gotten to be too much and she has sold the company. Jackie (not Jaqueline who also worked there) has bought it. From what I understand, everyone who used to work there is gone and there will soon be a new website. Right now, there is a new phone number: 417-987-4207 No clue how this will work for people still waiting for locations/replacements. However, we have been working with Jackie (not knowing she was in negotiations to buy the business) and things have been smooth. If I get any other info, I will post it here. Thanks.

caserri Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks Kevin. Keep us posted. I only have one left that I'm waiting on from my Oct '08 order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdydre Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Who is Jackie? Are they changing the business up? I just received an email from majorie so is she still helping with the business on the side or was it just sold today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Jackie is the new owner as of today. I am guessing the others are there for a transitional period. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powertechvending22 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 very unhappy with this was about to order some locations this week you guys think i should wait and see how quality is since all the staff left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I think it will be business as usual. Jackie isn't "coming in off the streets". She had been working at Midwest for a while and I would assume she still has all of the contacts they had before. I, personally, plan to keep ordering locations from them.

bruce Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Jackie called me today. She has bought the company. She will keep the warranty the same, and will charge $45 per location for the next 6 months. She has been there for 6 years, and sounded like she wanted to make things better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavity Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's been a few days and I'm still unable to get a hold of them, any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Call and leave a message. Jackie indicated she would be very busy. BTW, to clarify the $45 rate...she is saying it will take some time to locate while she gets up to speed. Maybe 5-6 weeks. So she is offering a discounted rate to compensate. She also plans to offer more pricing options based on the level of guarantee you want. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavity Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just got off a 15 min phone call with her. Very informative, She is moving the service to a different location in town, this will take some time. She expects to have @ 4 other employees plus her 6 years of experience. Kim, former locator, is starting another company! I wonder what it will be? And yes, she said it will be around the end of the month before most of the orders will be completed. Also, they are taking a limited number of orders this month to help alleviate the stress of the move and transfer of ownership. Still trying to complete back orders as best as possible. The $45/per price drop is still up in the air but hopes to change it sometime this month for a limited time. She will try to communicate more effectively with all her customers, I told her this was paramount for all of us, whether it's a call or an email! The locations they will provide will be on par with what we are accustomed to now, if not better! (let's hope so). Guarantee to be the same as now with possible pricing options to come in the future. Overall she seems like an upfront, informative, caring, and knowledgeable new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Agreed. We actually placed an order for 10 locations with her today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavity Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I don't think they do racks. As far as I know they never did. Just 1-3 head bulk stands, DI, and BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavity Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Just letting you know what I was told today, maybe you can give her a call tomorrow and get a definitive answer. It would be nice if I can get them located with her. Please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
