Yakima, WA, October 2015 — Standard Paint and Flooring has a long, rich history of being “the place” to shop
for premium paint and flooring solutions in Yakima since 1954. Now, 61 years later they are moving from the
location on 3rd Avenue where they have done business for over 40 years, to a grand showroom right on
Yakima Avenue that was the home of Schultz Furniture for generations.
“The time came for us to move to a larger and more visible space” said Regan Myers, 3rd generation owner of
Standard Paint and Flooring with Dick Jr. and his brother Craig. “We liked the Schultz Furniture reputation and
location and though it would be a good fit for us”.
Nine months ago the downtown Standard Paint and Flooring team of designers and sales staff packed up and
moved temporarily to the company’s West Valley store. The time has finally come to unpack those boxes and
move into their new showroom on 409 West Yakima Avenue. The new location is nearly double the space
that their previous store offered, going from 16,500sq ft. to nearly 30,000!
The team has been working tirelessly over the last several weeks to get the new paint department set-up and
open for business. As of Monday, September 21st, the paint department is open and serving its paint
customers at its regular downtown hours, Monday through Friday 7:30am to 5:30pm and Saturdays 8:00am to
2:00pm.
Finishing touches are still being put in place to make the new grand showroom shine. It will feature tile, wood
and carpet flooring displays, cabinetry, lighting and custom window treatments. The showroom will be ready
to “Wow” Yakima residents when they open the doors to the public with a formal ribbon cutting ceremony on
Tuesday, October 27th at 4:00pm. A dedication and light refreshments will be served to all who wish to
attend.
Standard Paint and Flooring has been in operation since 1954 when Dick Sr. first opened its doors in Yakima as
a paint store. They now offer far more than paint and have become the “One-Stop, Local Home Renovation
Store” in 5 cities throughout Eastern WA, including downtown Yakima, West Valley, Wenatchee, Sunnyside
and Kennewick. They also have a store in Bend, Oregon.
