Raymond and Donetta Klubnik started our business in 1967. They began selling Troy Bilt tillers from their home in North Royalton and at the Home and Garden Show. In 1974, they opened the first retail location on State Route 82 in North Royalton. The following year a second location was purchased, an existing lawn & garden retail outlet, in downtown Medina.

In the mid 80's spas were introduced to the lawn and garden product mix as a means of keeping busy in the off season. When fireplaces were discussed as the next step in the growth of the company, the existing building in downtown Medina, which was already size challenged, became too small.

In 1995 a new state of the art facility was built on Route 18 with room to spare. It was in this same year we added sunrooms and enclosures. With spas, fireplaces, and enclosure sales growing rapidly the name The Tractor Place no longer fit the business. We needed a name that could grow with us and fit with any other products we might want to add. After much discussion we went with "The Place", a name designed to keep a tie to the past but with an eye to the future.

The Place has always emphasized quality products and service. We will guide you to best product available and to work within your budget. Salespeople and techs are factory trained and work hard to keep current and up to date with the latest market information. While Ray and Donetta are no longer active in the day to day running of the business, their daughters Andrea, Donerae, and Michelle along with son in law Brett, have continued following the same philosophy that made The Place successful.

Son Raymond, who worked alongside his siblings since he was a child, has, with the help of his wife Cheryl, opened his own spa business in Las Vegas. "Diamond Coast Spas" is now 2 years old and going strong! Ray and Cheryl invite you to stop in and visit on your next trip to Vegas!

Whatever the future holds, rest assured that our family of employees will be ready with the most innovative and excellent products available in our industry. We will give you educated assistance in choosing and maintaining your purchases. We promise to do our best for you. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service.
