✨ Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to the New Year ✨
As we wrap up 2025, we want to take a moment to reflect on what an incredible year it’s been and share some exciting changes coming in the New Year.
One of the biggest highlights this year has been Ben Gruss working alongside Eklunds—a partnership that has now been going strong for over a year! It’s been a wonderful change for Ben and for Eklunds, and our friendship with their company continues to grow stronger.
Earlier this year, Tom had to pause his Highline route for a short time, but we were happy to get things rolling again in September. We’re now back up there at least once a week, and it’s been great reconnecting with our customers in that area.
This summer also marked something special—Wyatt, Tom’s oldest grandson, started working and learning the trade alongside Papa Tom. He’s been helping out during the summer and even some Fridays during the school year. Wyatt will be back again this coming summer to continue learning, and we couldn’t be more proud.
Looking ahead to the New Year, we have another big change coming. Ione (Tom’s wife) will be taking over answering phones and handling the books, helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
And finally, a personal note—Kim here 👋. I’ll be stepping into my next chapter in life. While I’ll still be local, it’s time for something new, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the years, memories, and support from our customers and community.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Gruss Appliance Repair through the years. We’re excited for what the New Year will bring and look forward to continuing to serve you! 🛠️🎉
