Come on Over Rover!




Two years ago Mike brought home a machine that looked like my miniature Volkswagen, needless to say I fell in love on site, before I even knew what this adorable little critter did to earn its keep! Once seeing the P93 chug along the bottom of the pool and climb up the stairs, flip over on its back and go back down to the bottom of the pool again we knew he was a keeper. The family decided this awesome creature whose job it was to pick up all the debris on the bottom of our pool for us deserved a name!

Polaris P93 AKA-Rover
 
We welcomed Rover into our family in 2011, this was the name chosen by our granddaughter! The only problem with identifying our P93 as Rover is every time I tell a customer about how awesome Rover is I have to remind myself of it’s proper name! Some products are just like that, I remember parting with my old Volvo who I had fondly n nicknamed Emma Lou. It was a sad day when Emma Lou was no longer part of my daily commute!

I know Mike is in love with his Big Green Egg but I haven’t heard him call it eggy or any other pet name but I think maybe he does this in secret…

I would love to hear the pet names that you have for your most treasured possessions. 

Talk soon,

HHL gets their groove on!


Have you heard the saying “Those who play together stay together.”?

Holland Home Leisure believes this theory to be true! Recently, a few (unnamed) HHL team members were casually having a mid-afternoon happy dance which is completely normal around here. The conversation quickly turned to the very popular “Harlem Shake” and how it would be hilarious if HHL were to participate in this fad. What turned out to be a joke has turned into a reality.

Mass emails were produced encouraging staff members and their families to join and soon the date was set. As we gathered after work on a Saturday afternoon, I looked around and realized… this is rare. Most times people run for the door on a Saturday after the store is closed. I too have made the mad dash… but on this day I was excited to see smiling, laughing, ridiculous costumes, and what had turned into a wonderful team building experience!
I had to try on the Cow Costume!
 
"Every person has their strengths and has their weaknesses, and the best teams need a good mix of people. Although I wanted to be front and center (ummmm….sure) it was very quickly decided that my “Best” was to be behind a camera! The team did a great job, and since they wouldn’t let me be in the video, I snuck my drone into the video for about 2 seconds to make an appearance! Great job everyone!"- Mark VanZoost

Yesterday as we gathered for our annual staff training day our finished video started our morning. I couldn’t think of a better way to get excited about a day of team building and learning  than seeing our very own Harlem Shake. You may think…What does the Harlem Shake have to do with Holland Home Leisure?

The answer is simple: FUN

We sell you fun…we are here to help you create memories in your very own backyard! To do this, and to give you our very best everyday, we need to work as a team, have fun as a team, learn as a team, and PLAY as a team!

We are excited to welcome you into Holland Home Leisure sometime soon!

We may even do a little dance for you,
