About Just Umbrellas
How We Started
Like many business stories you hear, I literally started this
business by drop shipping Market umbrellas from distributors
out of an apartment in N. California. We leased our first warehouse
in Rancho Cordova in 2002. In early 2004 we relocated to Yuba
City and doubled our warehouse space. We opened our first retail
location on March 1, 2005 in Yuba City, CA.
Our offices and showroom are located
at 1258 Hassett Ave, Unit 1, Yuba City, CA 9599.
We will always continue to focus
on providing Market Umbrellas to people all over the country.
The internet has provided a unique shopping experience to many
and will only grow over the coming years. We will continue
to provide “Chain
store pricing with Specialty Store selection.”
Our Unique Advantages
Many of our online competitors don’t offer the variety
and pricing we offer. If they do offer variety, they are usually
drop shipping from a distributor at higher prices than us.
If they are similar in price, their variety is probably less
to make sure they can turn over their inventory.
Over 4 short years, we’ve grown into a company with
several national accounts for franchise corporations to make
custom logo market umbrellas for their franchisees. We also
have numerous restaurant groups that we provide Market
Umbrellas for around the country. On top of that, we have several universities,
rental shops, outdoor kitchen contractors, Mom and Pop restaurants,
amusement parks, etc.. who buy from us regularly. We keep market
umbrellas and stands in stock year round to service all of
these accounts.
Environmentally Conscious
We do something that is somewhat
unique in our industry. We provide canvas
replacements and frames only to help out customers
who have purchased umbrellas from us. As you know, oftentimes
when you’re ready to replace your umbrella, the canvas
is usually in good shape but the frame is broken, or vice versa,
the frame is fine but the canvas is faded or torn. We carry
umbrella cleaners and umbrella
protectant items that help
to extend the life of our products and help to postpone their
ultimate fate of going into our landfills. While it does only
postpone it, we know that promoting this enables our customers
to throw less away while they are doing business with us.
Most stores, online or Major Chain stores, etc… don’t
promote this because it’s not very profitable. It makes
more sense to their bottom line to focus on selling you an
entire new umbrella.
Thank you for visiting Just Umbrellas,
we hope you find the right patio
umbrella for your home or market
umbrella for
your business.
We
offer the lowest prices
and best
quality umbrellas around!
