Canton, Ohio is now the home of a new ColorTyme store – co-owned by Tony Trombley and Tom Smith. Located near the corner of Whipple Avenue and Tuscarawas Street West in Canton Centre Mall, the 5,000 square-foot ColorTyme offers residents a new choice in rent-to-own services.
“There are a lot of competitors in our area,” said Trombley. “Our marketing will focus on the immediate area around our store. We plan to get involved with the Canton Chamber of Commerce and with the community. I truly believe that companies that get involved with their communities are more successful.”
Partnering to open the store, Trombley and Smith evaluated a location where a number of old buildings were being demolished and reconstructed. This was an opportunity for them to establish their new store in an area that was viewed as fresh and up-and-coming.
“We were really lucky to find this location,” Trombley said. “The biggest difference between this ColorTyme store and the three competing stores around us: We listen to our customers. They will notice a difference when they walk in here.”
