need a new chimp?

[Mikey P]

I hear Greg Cole shut down Pro Carpet and there's a bunch of broke dick porty guys scrambling for some work all over Atlanta.


Maybe now would be a good opportunity for a Advaclean revival..

 

[Desk Jockey]

Why did he do that? Or Did he start up the highend cleaning business he had been talking about?

 

[Shane Deubell]

Great, 50 more threads about portables

 

[Mikey P]

We talked in Frisco about it. I was under the assumption that he would sell it


He want to focus on restoration.


I guess the Farmers Almanac is predicting big freezes in GA for the next decade.

Funny that his site is still up but look at the yellow alert box.



His gal pal in that video was in Frisco, quite the Pepper Pot.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I thought he mentioned that used to be his girlfriend???

Wasn't his wife a cuttie too?

I'm sure in a large market there is always work to be found but personally I'd hedge my bet and keep the cleaning side.

Ohhh you are serious.
Thought you were joking around, wow pretty shocked he didn't sell it.

I'm sure he has something new cooked up.

 

[Art Kelley]

I thought he would have trouble rebranding his company. Twenty years of doing crap work can't be undone with a new ad campaign. Sounds like a midlife crisis.

Looks like it says Tampa shut down....

 

[encapman]

First time I've been to his site. Perhaps one reason for his failure was his marketing approach. Who in the world came up with that tagline?

If I didn't see it with my own eyes I could've taken it as a joke on the Letterman show.

That's what me and my wife saw as well and said "OH MY"

 

[Connor]

Didn't he have a commercial with a plastic Barbie lady whose dog "rocko" made a mess on the floor?


I'm a jerk.

 

[Shane Deubell]

I always thought it was some cultural georgia thing i didnt understand ...

We don't see too many pigs in these parts.

 

[amygeorge]

They’re just making fun of BAMA fans! Don’t take it personal, Marty!

 

[dealtimeman]

I don't understand the whole shutting down part. Why not sell it to one of your guys?

That's kind of weird to me also, only thing i can think of is timing. Maybe he didn't want to wait or couldn't for some reason.

 

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

He should fire everyone and go back to being owner operator.

so much for the Starship Enterpise.

"All Hands Abandon Ship!"

cool video of exploding starship.

Personally, I can't help but wonder if the whole subcontractor thing finally caught up to him. It always seemed pretty clear he was skirting the law, if not out right breaking it.

The carpet cleaning business was a fun ride but one I am grateful to be done with. Truth be told, I lost all interest in it a couple of years ago when i went through my divorce.
AND yes - the contractor model is a complete pain in the ass but had nothing to do with my decision. Their hard work provided extremely well for me and my family and I'll always be appreciative. I've had the fortune to work with a ton of great people and wish them all the best in the world.

After 22 years in the carpet cleaning business I have decided to shift my entire focus on the restoration industry. www.DONErestorationinc.com
Our primary focus in on commercial but we do some residential. Any and all referrals are appreciated.
Thanks to all that have been there and supported us.
Take care guys, see you at Connections........

Nice website!

Good luck!

 

[Shane Deubell]

Good luck on your new adventure.

Website is pretty cool.

 

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

Cool.

I should have known better than to underestimate Captain Cole and the Starship Enterprise.

The very next scene in Episode 118 of Star Trek Next Generation shows that the crew and the ship are alive and well - with the senior officers once again playing cards.

 

[Derek]

glad to hear it, your heart will thank you to i bet.

Is you're Atlanta business still operating under the new pricing model? I have to admit I'm somewhat disappointed that I won't be able to follow the changeover, I was looking forward to it. Good luck in you're future endeavors

 

[The Great Oz]

Should we let Greg wander around Vegas or let him know that Connections has also shut down?


It was a fun ride while it lasted but the contractor model was a pain ...

 

[Bjorn]

don't tell him

 

[hogjowl]

I was at TCS last week. The word there was that Coles subs have been coming through there saying he gave them no warning. They all showed up one morning and found out he was shutting down ... That day ... Right then!

Doesn't sound like a person who "appreciates" his people.

 

[Desk Jockey]

They were portable operators......he should be shot for giving them work for this long. Thankfully he saw the error in his ways.

 

[dealtimeman]

Dang that sucks, must be more to the story than this though.
