Augsburger's Syracuse store is expanding

Expansion and modernization seem constantly in progress at Augsburger’s Super Valu stores in Syracuse and North Webster. Jim Evans, general manager of Augsburger’s, is pleased to discuss the 6,000 sq. ft. expansion of the Syracuse store which is currently in progress and which is expected to be completed well before summer residents and visitors arrive in 1986. This addition follows closely the extensive 1983 remodeling of the North Webster store as Augsburger’s continues to improve service to its customers. Manager of the Syracuse food store is Ron Schwartz and Mike Myers manages the North Webster store.

“We feel positive that the Lakeland area will continue to grow,” states Evans. “And we will continue to serve in a complete manner for the people in the area.” . Evans says the expansion is to allow an increased variety and better display of perishables; meat, dairy, frozen, produce and deli/ bakery. Wider aisles will also provide more customer convenience. Augsburger’s has also added over 20 additional parking spots to the north, beside Hook Drugs. The Syracuse and North Webster food stores both continue to be open to serve their customers 24 hours a day, five days a week. On Saturdays the stores are open from 6

a.m. to midnight and Sunday hours are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. “We’ve been very pleased with the response from the public to the 24-hour convenience service we offer,” Evans says. “It has been very successful for us and these hours will continue if people continue to use them.” Augsburger’s is owned by Senator John B. Augsburger of Syracuse. He became involved in the busings in 1956 after graduating

Rinker Boat Company has served area for over 30 years

Serving the Lakeland community for over 30 years, the Rinker Boat Company continues to design and manufacture various lines of quality boats. Although the company remains at its Chicago Street location, major changes have been made with its facilities and products. Prior to 1983, Rinker Boat made sailboats, runabouts, and a small line of Cuddy Cabin boats. In 1983, however, the local boat company introduced a new line of boats to its production and sales. Recent years have witnessed the manufacturing and sales of a larger line of Cuddy Cabin boats, a 25-foot complete cabin cruiser, the construction of two new buildings, and the elimination of the sailboat line. Rinker Boat, founded by John Rinker, has always been concerned with quality and safety in its manufacturing as well as providing attractive designs. All boats sold at Rinker have met with Coast Guard specifications, as well as meeting the standards set by the state and national authorities; In addition, Rinker Boat uses only top

The Syracuse Augsburger’s was opened in 1965 and the company expanded to include the North Webster location in 1971. The Milford Augsburger’s store closed and the property was sold in 1978.

equipment in its boats to secure a quality boat for its customers. With each boat comes a one-year limited warrantee on all fiberglass parts and materials. Rinker Boat Company officials believe speed, power and durability are essential for being the leader in the boating industry. Because of this, engines and hulls are designed and matched up to obtain optimum speed along with fuel economy. Presently, many of the hull parts are hand-laid at the local factory. Standard equipment on Rinker’s boats include handling hardware, running lights, mechanical steering, ski shelves, full lounge sleeper seats, and marine carpeting with flotation foam. Although its philosophy has not changed greatly over the years, its number of employees certainly has. Currently with 87 on the payroll staff, Rinker Boat’s expansion and growth in business during the past several years has brought in many new employees. With the company’s expansion in buildings and products during in a relatively short period of time, Laurie Egolf foresees greater expansion in the years to come.
