FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Office Space Offers More Space in the Office
Modular Merchant Goes Uptown by Moving Downtown
EUGENE, OR - (February 1, 2006) – Modular Merchant celebrated
the new year by moving in to their new offices in downtown
Eugene, Oregon. The company founder, Chuck Marier, was excited
to share about the experience. "Moving into the office
downtown has been a great experience," he beamed, "We
have a lot more space to work, which is a blessing. For example,
when we discovered that the roof leaks, we had plenty of room
to move our computers and printers out of the way."
The
Modular Merchant building is shared with other local institution,
Pacific University. "They’re really nice," continued
Mr. Marier, "every time one of their students wanders
into our office asking where their class is, it gives us an
opportunity to guide them down to the correct side of the building
and say hello to the Pacific University staff. Sometimes they
wave and remember my name."
"When
we discovered the roof leaks, we had plenty of room
to move our computers out of the way."
But not to be outdone by the
do-gooding university, Modular Merchant is also doing its part
for the local community. "It
feels good to pitch in our part. The $170
a month we now pay for parking is helping the local economy.
It makes you proud to make a difference, y’know?" offered
Chuck... without even being asked a specific question.
Now that they’ve settled in downtown, does the Modular
Merchant staff miss their old digs? "Are you kidding?" questioned
the company founder, "Being downtown makes you feel secure.
The constant sirens are a comforting reminder that there’s
always a policeman, fireman or paramedic nearby. When I discovered
my car had been bashed into and burgled a few weeks ago, it
was reassuring to know that help was only a siren away."
"It's reassuring to know that help is
only a siren away."
As they validated my parking and jury-rigged the elevator
open for my departure, it became clear that even with the challenges
a new office space can bring, the Modular Merchant staff continues
to grow, produce industry-leading shopping
cart software, and
offer exceptional technical
support. Even after they’ve grown out of their current
offices, it will be quite a feat
for them to improve on their software and service. However,
they'll certainly find a way to do so.
