Lenexa, KS – July 9, 2015 – Catalyst AV distribution network member Pioneer Music Company today announced the expansion of its Lenexa, Kansas facility. Gaining 12,000 square feet next door to its existing 6,000 Sq. ft. facility, PMC has tapped the new space to house more comprehensive showrooms, conference / training rooms and a larger shipping / receiving area. According to PMC president Dan Haight, the expansion will allow the company to better serve its entire customer base of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Southern Illinois.

Mart-like Shopping Experience
With the expansion PMC now has two separate “mart-like” shopping showrooms: the first a 1,000 Sq. ft. 12-volt room that displays products (unboxed) thus allowing dealers hands-on to both view and select from, and the second a 2,000 Sq. ft. Home AV room complete with the latest solutions including Ultra HD and IoT-enabled products. According to Haight, with respect to 12-volt products, the mart-experience is unique to the territory.

One-Day Shipping to Most Dealers
While previously the majority of PMC’s shipping was handled by its Chanute, KS warehouse, geographically the location did not permit PMC to reach every dealer in one-day. The new Lenexa facility will now serve as PMC’s main shipping and receiving annex, enabling the company to reach more dealers in a day. “Our dealers are very excited about this,” says Haight.

Grand Expansion Celebration Event
To kick things off, PMC hosted an “Old Kansas City-themed Rhythm and Brews” dealer sales event on June 25th and 26th. The event – attended by more than 100 dealers – featured product specials “with deals deeper than the territory has ever experienced!” exclaimed Haight.

During the event, PMC raffled off a Yamaha receiver, a Vivitek projector, a High Definition antenna from Antennas Direct, Definitive Technology speakers and a Niles 200 watt amplifier.
