YEARS IN
R3
Thank you Kamloops for the confidence you have placed in us over the years. Our customer 1st commitment allows us to demonstrate the experience you have with our staff and our products remain our #1 focus. Ten years ago I wanted to move back to Kamloops and raise my family. I answered an ad for a service technician with Gord’s Maytag, became the lead on the service team and 3 years later was given the opportunity to purchase the store, and as they say the rest is history. My philosophy has not changed from the early days of Gord’s Maytag and never will. Our customers are why we open our doors everyday. Whether we see them for Appliances, Mattresses, Parts & Service or they just stop in for a cookie, we here for them. With the products like Jenn-Air, Maytag, Whirlpool, our commitment to 100% customer satisfaction is made easier. Great People, Great Products, Great Service. A formula that Kamloops people have come to expect and recognize for the 17th year as Best Appliance Store in
Kamloops. Thank you for your continued trust. - Cam Wilson

Each year, KTW and our partners, Thompson Rivers University and KPMG, marvel at the entries readers send our way. Whether through KTW’s print product or via our busy website, loyal readers have shown they are very passionate and dedicated when telling us who they think is the best at what they do in Kamloops. The community support we receive during the KELLY HALL Readers’ Choice process has been fantastic. Having the ability to honour the winners in our souvenir edition, as well as at our Readers’ Choice Awards night, is very gratifying to us at Kamloops This Week. We would like to pass on our congratulations to all the businesses that have been recognized by our readers as being among the best in the city. Kamloops is extremely fortunate to have so many diverse companies representing the commerce of the Tournament Capital.
