Eugene is TrackTown USA, and Lane County's dealer story starts at Hayward Field. About 385,000 people live in this valley-to-coast county -- in the university city, in Springfield, and out in Florence on the dunes -- where the Olympic Trials fill the hotels, the Ducks fill the Saturdays, and the deck is where the town watches it all.

The university city is the culture lane. Professors, physicians, and the track-world transplants buy the engineered answer: the sealed housing for the rainy months, the sensor for the coast-range wind events, the fifteen-year warranty that ends the comparison. The craftsman streets near campus carry the recover funnel -- aging frames, faded brackets, and the trust-building entry.

The Oregon Country Fair is the summer institution. Every July, Veneta's woods fill with fairgoers, and the whole county leans into the celebration. The fair's hospitality spillover -- the lodging, the restaurants, the vacation rentals -- buys guest comfort, and the dealer who knows the fair calendar pitches like a local.

Springfield's neighborhoods are the residential base. Working-family streets with practical budgets and the hospital corridor: the buyers who want the system that survives valley weather with the warranty to prove it. Visible installs on family streets compound across the city's east side.

Florence and the dunes are the coastal lane. Sea Lion Caves, the Oregon Dunes, and the beach rentals: the county runs all the way to the Pacific, and the coastal market buys the handled part -- motorized, sensor-guarded, serviced by the dealer. The McKenzie River corridor between them adds the recreation cabins.

The wholesale story beats the corridor retailer. A family-owned Springfield shop has sold awnings here since 1990 -- retail, direct to homeowners, no dealer program. The AJ Shades dealer buys at wholesale, sells under its own name, and hands every remodeler and patio builder in the county a supply line they have never had.

TrackTown shade

What Lane County dealers sell

University-city product for runners, fairgoers, and dune riders.

Motorized Power Screens

Motorized zip-track screens for Eugene decks and Florence beach homes: shade, privacy, and insect screening at a button. In Lane County the screen serves the track house and the dune cabin alike -- one product, two Oregons.

Screens for Lane County dealers

Full-Cassette Retractable Awnings

Full-cassette retractable awnings for valley rain and coastal gusts: the housing seals the system through the wet months, the sensor handles the coast-range blows, and the Somfy-powered drive does the work. Fifteen-year factory warranty included.

Cassette awnings for Lane dealers

Open-Roll Retractable Awnings

Open-roll retractable awnings for Lane County: motorized, sensor-ready, and backed by the 15-year factory warranty. The sensible premium for Springfield's neighborhoods and west Eugene's family streets.

Browse the dealer catalog

Lane County dealers sell retractable awnings in cassette and open-roll profiles, motorized power screens, and awning recover for existing frames. Every retractable awning and motorized power screen carries the 15-year factory warranty. Patio covers are not part of the dealer lineup.

Territory opportunity

The TrackTown-to-dunes market

University city, fair woods, and the dune coast.

Start in Eugene. TrackTown's neighborhoods hold the culture buyers and the campus-adjacent recover funnel: craftsman streets where the engineered answer wins.

Work Springfield's family streets. Practical budgets, the hospital corridor, and visible installs that compound across the east side.

Cover Veneta and the fair woods. The Country Fair's hospitality spillover: lodging, rentals, and restaurants that buy guest comfort every July and keep it all year.

Hold Florence, the McKenzie corridor, and the dunes. Sea Lion Caves traffic, dune riders, and beach rentals where absentee owners buy motorized and sensor-guarded.

Why partner with AJ Shades

The TrackTown edge

Culture buyers, fair-season hospitality, and an empty wholesale lane.

1. Wholesale terms, real margin. Factory-direct wholesale with no distributor stack: the spread stays in your business. Dealers sell AJ Shades products nationwide as product-only wholesale, with installation fulfilled by trusted local contractors. Our own crews install only in Southern California -- San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties -- never in the valley.

2. Culture buyers buy engineering. TrackTown's transplants and the university crowd read the spec sheet. The sealed housing, the sensor, the fifteen-year factory warranty on the awning and screen line: the comparison ends on proof. Coverage varies by product and component.

3. The fair is the hospitality calendar. The Country Fair's July surge fills the county's lodging and rentals. Guest-comfort shade booked in spring pays for itself by August.

4. The incumbent is retail, not wholesale. The 1990 Springfield shop sells direct to homeowners -- no dealer program. Every contractor in the county is your prospect, not your rival.

5. Your capital stays yours. Build-to-order manufacturing means samples and a catalog, not a warehouse. Cash stays in the business.

Already installing across the southern valley? The contractor programis built for trade businesses, and valley dealers often hold both programs.

Lane County dealer FAQ

Questions Lane County businesses ask us

How do I become an AJ Shades dealer in Oregon?
Inquire with your background and coverage, and we map the territorySpringfield, Veneta, and the Florence coast, then train on the product line, measuring, and installation. You quote from samples and the catalog while the factory builds each system to order. Most dealers are quoting within weeks.
Is the AJ Shades dealer program a franchise?
No. It is a wholesale supply program, not a franchise: no buy-in, no royalties, no franchise fees. Dealer pricing on American-made retractable awnings and power screens, with margin you control. Unlike a single-brand authorized-dealer agreement that locks you into one label and bars competing lines, this program leaves your business independent.
What products can OR dealers sell?
Retractable awnings in cassette and open-roll profiles, motorized power screens, and awning recover for existing frames. Every retractable awning and every motorized power screen carries the 15-year warranty. Patio covers are not part of the dealer lineup.
Do OR dealers need to carry inventory?
No. Systems build to order and ship to the job, so the dealer carries samples and a catalog instead of a warehouse. No stocking required, no dead inventory tying up cash.
What territory support does AJ Shades provide?
Product and installation training, measuring guidance, professional photography, co-branded quote templates, fabric samples, and a dealer portal for estimating, ordering, and lead tracking. The program comes from a veteran-owned American manufacturer.
How do I compete with the Springfield shop from 1990?
You outflank it. That shop is a retail operation selling direct to homeowners; it offers no wholesale program, which makes every contractor, remodeler, and patio builder in Lane County your prospect instead of your rival. You buy at dealer pricing, sell under your own name, keep the margin, and work the fair-season hospitality and the dune-coast rentals the corridor retailer visits thinly. It proved the demand over 35 years; you bring the supply line it never offered.
