Yuma County sits on Colorado’s eastern edge, farm country running from Wray through Yuma to Eckley, with about 9,896 residents, the largest market in this corner of the plains. Farm families and town households share the same sky and the same problem: summers that run hot, wind that never really stops, and patios that sit unused through the best months of the year.
The county holds a geographic distinction worth knowing: the lowest point in Colorado is where the Arikaree River leaves Yuma County. Low elevation here means heat, real, sustained, afternoon-baking heat, which turns the awning from a luxury into a cooling strategy. Shade the patio and you shade the wall behind it; buyers who have paid to cool a west-facing house understand the math immediately.
The buyer mix is two lanes in one county. Farm families buy on engineering and service life, the equipment mindset, while town households in Wray and Yuma buy on comfort and warranty. One catalog serves both: the sensor and the sealed cassette for the farm buyer, the motorized convenience and the fifteen-year warranty for the town buyer.
The arrangement is wholesale, not franchise. You sell AJ Shades products nationwide on a product-only basis, fulfilling installation through your crew or trusted local contractors. AJ Shades installs directly only in Southern California, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Your Colorado territory runs on your schedule and your crews, with factory training, measuring guidance, and technical support behind every sale.
Population is the strategic point. At nearly ten thousand residents, Yuma County can support a full-time dealer in a way the smaller plains counties cannot, with enough doors for a real pipeline and enough farmstead tickets to keep the average job strong. The dealer who claims this territory gets the region’s biggest plains market to themselves.
The product line
What Yuma County dealers sell
Heat-beating shade for the plains, sold on cooling and durability.
Motorized Power Screens
Motorized zip-track screens that drop over patios, porches, and garage openings, shade, privacy, and insect control at the touch of a button. In Yuma County’s hot summers, screens turn a buggy dusk patio into the family’s favorite room.
See power screens for dealersFull-Cassette Awnings
Full-cassette retractable awnings, the profile that wins the heat and hail arguments together. Sealed housing protects the fabric from dust, hail, and relentless sun between uses, backed by a fifteen-year factory warranty.
See cassette awningsOpen-Roll Retractable Awnings
Open-roll retractable awnings for Yuma County: motorized operation, sensor-driven storm protection, and on-demand shade at the line’s most accessible price. The cooling strategy more households can reach.
Browse the dealer catalogEvery awning and power screen in the dealer catalog carries a 15-year factory-serviced warranty. In a hot-summer market, that reframes the purchase from expense to fifteen years of cooler patios. American-made and veteran-owned; coverage varies by product and component.

Territory opportunity
The Arikaree territory
Wray, Yuma, Eckley, and the farm belt between them.
Anchor in Wray. The county seat is the farm-service hub, with professional households, school-town families, and the most visible patios in the county. A strong Wray presence sets the standard the rest of the county follows.
Work Yuma. The second town holds workforce housing and growing families, practical buyers who respond to the cooling argument and the warranty. Volume lives here.
Cover Eckley and the farm belt. Farmsteads between the towns hold the biggest patios and the most punishing exposure: heat, wind, and hail with nothing to break them. Mobile quoting, premium tickets, and the farm-buyer engineering pitch.
Own all of it. About 9,896 residents across three towns and the farm belt is a full-time territory for one dealer, with no subdivided boundaries and no internal competition, just a whole county learning one name.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The plains-volume edge
The largest market in the region, farm and town buyers, heat that sells shade.
1. Wholesale terms, real margin. Cut out the distribution layers and the math changes. You buy direct from the American factory at dealer pricing, sell under your own brand across Yuma County, and keep margin that distributor brands never let dealers touch.
2. Heat is the closer. Low elevation means sustained summer heat, and every west-facing patio in the county bakes. The cooling argument, shade the patio, cool the house, use the backyard all summer, is the most intuitive sale in the catalog. Nobody has to be convinced that heat is real.
3. Two buyers, one catalog. Farm families buy the engineering; town households buy the comfort and the warranty. The same retractable awning answers both, which means one product line, one training program, and two distinct pipelines feeding the same business.
4. Put fifteen years in every quote. The 15-year factory warranty on every retractable awning and motorized power screen turns the price conversation into a service-life conversation, and Yuma County buyers, farm and town alike, respect service life. Coverage varies by product and component.
5. Your capital stays yours. Your capital works instead of waiting. Because every unit is manufactured to order, there is no warehouse to fund and no stock to finance: you sell, the factory builds, and the product ships to the job.
Leading an install team on the eastern plains? The contractor program fits crew-led operations, and many Colorado dealers run it in combination with the dealer program.
