AVAD Announces Dallas Relocation

AVAD is relocating its Dallas branch to Ingram Micro’s Carrollton, Texas facility on March 29, 2010.

The new location will offer area dealers the same unique AVAD advantages they’ve benefited from at the previous facility — access to AVAD Experience Centers, a dedicated home theater and showroom, training facilities, a will-call area and a fully-stocked warehouse.

The new branch will be located off I-35E, eight miles north of its current location at 1809 W Frankford Rd # 100, Carrollton, TX 75007.

“The relocation of the AVAD Dallas branch illustrates how the support of our parent company, Ingram Micro, can benefit AVAD and its dealers,” said Jim Annes, vice president and general manager of AVAD. “AVAD continuously evaluates the effectiveness of each of its facilities both financially and in terms of productivity.

While our current Dallas facility has served the needs of area dealers for some time, we feel it does not meet the needs of AVAD’s long-term strategy for dealer support. The implementation of this ‘store within a store’ concept not only saves significant revenue but gives AVAD a virtual unlimited opportunity to grow within this facility as we expand into new markets such as commercial AV, security and digital signage.”

The new Dallas location will offer area dealers access to AVAD’s fully-functional AVAD Experience Center, featuring the latest products from leading manufacturers in home theater, home automation, commercial AV, lighting controls, security, distributed AV, central vacuum, HVAC and more.

AVAD-Dallas will also continue to offer the industry’s most respected and recognized brands, in-depth product and category training, the widest selection in various disciplines - audio, video, lighting controls, home automation, commercial AV, security and more — and an expert sales staff to offer support in system design, application and technical support.

AVAD branches also offer fully-stocked showrooms, including a state-of-the-art home theater, providing dealers a resource for marketing and selling complete custom home electronic solutions to their clients. AVAD dealers have the luxury of scheduling appointments to utilizing the AVAD home theater, demo rooms and Experience Centers as a showroom for their prospective customers.
