Pella Windows and Doors of Grand Junction has opened what’s billed as a full-service retail shopping experience for homeowners, builders, contractors and designers in Western Colorado.

“Providing Grand Junction and the surrounding communities with a retail experience that is unlike any other in our market was important to us,” said Chris Pettofrezzo, the local Pella owner and chief executive officer. “The Western Slope continues to see an increase in single family new building starts as well as replacement needs for existing homes. Our new experience center provides customers a personalized look at Pella’s product performance and design. And our consultants offer critical expertise in selecting the right materials for our unique western Colorado geography, such as high-altitude glass.”

The Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce assisted with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during a grand opening event on Feb. 15.

Located at 2478 Patterson Road, Suite 15, the Pella Experience Center affords customers a hands-on opportunity to check out Pella products. Workstations and multiple screens throughout the center offers architects, builders, contractors and designers the ability to work on projects independently or with their clients. To serve trade professionals in the region, the center also offers client meeting spaces and continuing education events.

The center is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon weekdays and by appointment. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (970) 779-6197 or visit the website located at www.pellabranch.com.
