HOUSTON, Texas, December 12, 2003—The SCOOTER Store, the nation's leading supplier of power wheelchairs and scooters, today opened its second retail location in the Houston area. Invited guests for the opening ceremonies included members of the medical community and public officials.
The new retail store at 12804 Gulf Freeway, Building C, in the Center at Fuqua is part of the company's efforts to give its customer a wider range of options, said Doug Harrison, president and founder of The SCOOTER Store.
"Our new store will enable more customers in Southeast Harris County to see our full line of health solutions for active living, test drive our different scooter models and talk to our experienced sales representatives one-on-one," Harrison said.
