HUNTER DOUGLAS
WINDOW FASHIONS GALLERY
PORTFOLIO
Our Hunter Douglas Gallery is open Monday
through Saturday: 9:30 to 5:00
The Hunter Douglas Gallery™ program is
the ultimate alliance among selected independent storefront
window fashions retailers, Hunter Douglas and Hunter Douglas fabricators. The goal is
to provide consumers with the retail experience they deserve -- a thoroughly satisfying
shopping experience -- from the time they first inquire about Hunter Douglas products
until the time their window fashions are delivered and installed.
In this ongoing alliance that focuses on the
customer, Hunter Douglas is raising the industry standard for window fashions retailing --
building and supporting a select group of retailers who have what it takes to successfully
manage the customer's experience and, in so doing, be successful in the new millennium.
The Hunter Douglas Gallery program is not for
all dealers. The program is designed for full-service, financially stable,
independently-owned retail stores -- dealers who provide their customers with a thoroughly
satisfying shopping experience and are dedicated to promoting the Hunter Douglas brand.
Hunter Douglas fabricators nominate their retailers who go through a rigorous screening
process before they are accepted as Hunter Douglas Gallery dealers.
In July 2003 The Blind Alley joined more than 360 other dealers nationwide participating
in the exclusive Hunter Douglas Gallery program, which is limited to dealers selected by
Hunter Douglas for their knowledge and expertise regarding Hunter Douglas products and
services.

What makes a Gallery
different from other dealers?
