Become an AJ Shades Dealer in Washington County

Washington County is wheat and cattle country on Colorado’s eastern plains. About 4,732 people live here, with Akron as the county seat and Otis as the second town, and the landscape is working farmland stretching to the horizon. It is the sparsest kind of market: few doors per mile, but every door sits under the same punishing sky.

The dealer model here is the mobile showroom. Low density means the storefront is the truck: samples in the back, the catalog on the tablet, quoting at kitchen tables and in farm shops. The dealer who will drive the county owns the county, because nobody else is going to make that drive with a better product.

The pitch is weather, plain and simple. Plains wind runs unbroken across open wheat ground, hail season puts every exposed surface at risk, and summer sun bakes west-facing walls for hours. The engineering answers each one: a wind sensor that retracts the awning before the gust front, a full cassette that seals fabric and arms away from hail and dust, and quiet motorized operation the whole family can run.

Think of it as a wholesale partnership. You sell the AJ Shades line nationwide, product-only, and install with your own crew or trusted local contractors. AJ Shades itself only installs in Southern California, in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Colorado work is dealer work: your territory, your customers, your margin, with our training and technical backup in your corner.

Reputation compounds fast in a county this size. One careful install on a visible Akron street becomes the reference for the whole town, and farm families talk across fence lines. The dealer wins Washington County the slow way, one kept promise at a time, and then the county starts selling for the dealer.
