A test of a trade custom services department that started two years ago in EXPO Design Centers in San Diego and Atlanta has been expanded and is now operating in six locations. The others are Dallas, south Florida, Los Angeles, and most recently, Burlington, Mass.
EXPO, a division of The Home Depot, has created a Pro-Services division to offer members of the trade and their customers professional turnkey interior design products and services all under one roof, said Robert Lee, Pro-Services manager. The Professional Services Office being tested is a dedicated department that provides trade professionals with personalized account representatives, extended store hours and access to EXPO's showrooms. Each EXPO Design Center has eight designer showrooms: Kitchens; Baths; Appliances; Lighting; Rug & Carpeting; Window Treatments & Accessories; Patio and Tile; and Stone & Wood.
