The hum of an air conditioning unit overhead blows cool air onto customers' heads as they walk through the front doors of Namco Pool & Patio Equipment and come face-to-face with a life-size above-ground pool. The left side of the store is full of sets of patio furniture including a mesh gazebo and hammocks. The right half of the store is dedicated to the model pools and the back half of the store is full of pool chemicals, swimming paraphenalia and anything else that pool owners and users may need.
During the fall and winter months, the swimming pools disappear and the play on words in the title of the store becomes evident as billiard tables and bar furniture appear on the showroom floor for those who enjoy the other type of "pool." The manager also pointed out that the hours of the store shorten to reflect the change in the season. The overall goal of the store is to provide residents with recreation during all four seasons of the year.
