California's a top state for us, and Bakersfield is a top market. We're very excited to have Bill as our partner.

The low cost of building in the Bakersfield area as compared with the L.A. Basin makes Bakersfield attractive to both retirees and commuters, and the new Slide-Lok of Bakersfield Master Dealership will serve the growing metro area by selling and installing the leading solution in space saving, modular, adaptable garage storage systems—Slide-Lok.

According to a 2006 NAHB study, 91 percent of new homes include a garage; and Bakersfield residents are quickly finding out what Slide-Lok already knows from a recent 2006 market study conducted by the company—namely that a storage system in the average home’s garage can effectively double the home’s available storage space.

Slide-Lok of Bakersfield owner Bill Harp states, “Bakersfield’s weather makes it a top growth opportunity in the emerging garage storage market. People here like to spend time working on their hobbies, and that’s taking them into their garages more and more often.” Harp continued, “The garage market growth we’re seeing is very strong, and when it came to getting into the market, we found the right partner in Slide-Lok—they definitely deliver what they promise.”

Slide-Lok president, Brian Strayer, comments, "When we look for Master Dealer partners, we look for business savvy, passion, and local market knowledge; and Bill Harp and his team have all three.” Strayer continued, “California’s a top state for us, and Bakersfield is a top market. We’re very excited to have Bill as our partner.”
