Store Movement!

As part of our continuing effort to improve service to our customers, the Foodservice Store, currently located at our main distribution center (230 Quigley Blvd), will be moved to our location at 325 Quigley Blvd.
The friendly, knowledgeable Action Team at that location will be prepared to handle all of your questions and service your every need on Monday, November 3, 2008.
This move will make way for the expansion of our rapidly growing Action Academy. Response to the Academy programs has been phenomenal and requests for new classes appear endless. Beginning with our November sessions, Action Academy classes will be held at our main distribution center (230 Quigley Blvd.)
This space will be renovated to accommodate all the Academy courses. The renovations planned include multiple floor training facilities, open restroom areas, and classroom with audio/visual aids.
For details on Action Academy courses, please, speak to your Action Representative or call today – (302) 323-1455.

Action Academy







This week I attended my second term at Action Academy. Action Academy is Action Unlimited Resources' monthly seminar which focuses on educating sanitary/janitorial professionals, or anyone interested in improving their knowledge and skills when it comes to cleaning. This month, Action experts Professor Bob Seibel and Mr. Wayne Dippold enlightened and entertained their students in the areas of Restroom Cleaning For Health and Safety and Hard Floor Care.
In the morning session, Professor Seibel focused on instilling attendees with the strong sense of pride appropriate to the janitorial business, as we are charged with "protecting the treasures of the temple," and demonstrated the proper ways to protect one's self and employees while using chemical. He outlined, step by step, the best way to clean a restroom and why and what type of chemical is best for each situation.
In the afternoon session, Mr. Dippold offered an outline for how to strip, rinse, finish, guard, and burnish a VCT floor. After the lecture portion, to the delight of attendees, Mr. Dippold conducted a demonstration of his methods on the floor of Action Academy! Students were encouraged to participate and learn machinery and chemical use, as well as experience the proper methods first hand.
Action's staff houses a wealth of knowledge and experience for their customer's benefit, and Action Academy presents focused sessions that will no doubt provide you with some new information, insight, or method, and it is fun! While the classes are not sales oriented, once the final bell has rung, every product and machine you learned about are available for purchase from Action Unlimited Resources.
