Finding Success in Southern New Hampshire

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Kris-Way is quickly finding success in Southern, NH. Just a short year and a half ago Kris-Way was just getting started in the Manchester marketplace. At the time it seemed like it might be a tough road given the economy. But we forged ahead confident that the Manchester, Nashua, Concord marketplace was in need of a strong independent leasing company.

With fewer than 10 full service lease vehicles we opened Kris-Way Manchester in 2009. Fast forward to January 2011 and we now are approaching 200 pieces of equipment under lease or maintenance. Our Manchester facility has increased hours of service and Kris-Way now has service capabilities in Concord.

Southern, NH is still a place where customers value the consistent service a locally owned and operated independent leasing company can provide. Through our NationaLease and PacLease affiliations we also have access to national service networks. Give Kris-Way a try and you’ll see the difference.

Manchester Location Off and Running

Kris-Way Manchester is adding customers, equipment, and capabilities by the day. Our hours will be expanding soon to meet the demands of our customer base. We offer fuel, parking, and a washbay.

We’re pleased to say that we’ve been well recieved in the Manchester, NH marketplace. It seems customers have been looking for an independent alternative to national leasing companies. The demand for consistent service and personal attention knows no boundaries.

Why Choose A Local Option?

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Studies done nationally have shown that for every $100 spent locally, $45 is returned to the local economy. On the other hand, for every $100 spent at national chains, only $13 of economic impact was felt in local economies. A similar study was done right here in Maine in 2003 in the Mid Coast Region. The economic impact of consumer spending at eight local businesses was contrasted with the impact generated by spending at eight national chain stores. The results showed that 44.6% of the dollars stayed in the surrounding Maine counties, while an additional 8.7% was spent state wide. Only 14.1% of the money spent at the chain stores stayed in Maine. 

 

National studies have also shown that just as little as a 10% increase in local spending spurs job creation. A Portland study in 2006 found that a 10% increase in local spending would result in an increase in $50 million in revenue in Greater Portland and 600 additional jobs. Local businesses proportionally tend to employ more local labor and buy more local goods than national competitors. Local businesses are located right here in our state, don’t operate from remote headquarters, and contribute more to local charities at a rate of 4 to 1. Local businesses contribute more to state and local taxes.

 

Based on these findings I would ask you to consider using Kris-Way Truck Leasing, Inc. for your transportation solution. We are Maine and New England’s largest independently owned full service truck leasing company. Other benefits of doing business with locally owned companies include strong customer service, flexibility, and individual customer attention. National companies have their place, and sometimes provide a viable alternative. However, when all things are equal, the benefits of choosing a local option are hard to ignore.

 

We welcome the opportunity to compete for your business. Our goal is to provide you with a cost effective program while providing the best service in the marketplace. I encourage you to let us explore your operation and determine if Kris-Way is a good fit for your business.
