IN THIS ISSUE THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON

Vertical, horizontal, hold it! When it comes to
blinds or window treatments of any kind, Kerry
Grushoff, owner of The Blind Spot in the Harvard
Row Mall in Southfield, has it all.
stalling elaborate window treatments for every room of a
home. When we finish teaching our staff, they know our pro-
ducts, and they know that they are of the best quality. This
then allows them to take great pride in giving the customer
the best deal on the perfect window treatment."
It is just like any other technological advancement,
"Why must people settle for plain old draperies when a
brand new window treatment would be more practical as
well as better looking," states Kerry. He's right!
Kerry started in the window treatment business several
years ago and has been a pioneer in the industry ever since.
Much of Kerry's success is attributed to his warmth, sincerity
and integrity. His customers believe that they are get-
ting the best products at the best possible prices .. .
and they are right. That in itself sets Kerry apart from
his competition. When it comes to merchandise, Kerry is
unsurpassed in supreme quality. His many styles of custom
window treatments such as mini and vertical blinds, pleated
shades, wood blinds, and woven woods are guaranteed to
enhance any home of any style from the most contemporary
to the traditionally classic. "Everyone is changing from con-
ventional draperies into exciting and durable vertical blinds,"
states Kerry. "Just look around you."
Kerry helps to put the finishing touches on a custom order for
a client.
Kerry's knowledgeable and courteous salespeople are always on
hand to help with customers' questions.
If you are still not satisfied with the amount of care
taken for each customer, it might set your mind at ease to
know that Kerry and his qualified staff of sales people per-
sonally review each order to ensure total satisfaction. When
The Blind Spot does a job, it is done completely and
correctly; imperfection will not be tolerated.
Kerry also boasts a very impressive showroom
with a huge selection of blinds available for sale. He
has literally hundreds of window treatments on display in
his showroom that are available for immediate purchase. If
by chance they do not have exactly what you are looking
for, they will custom make blinds from your choice of color,
fabric, or even wallpaper. They never say impossible when
it comes to customer satisfaction.
It would seem that with all of the time and energy put
in by Kerry and his staff, and with only the highest quality
merchandise, that the price would be high. This is simply
not so. At The.Blind Spot they offer rates which are
50% to 70% off the manufacturer's suggested retail
price! Of course others offer discounts but nowhere else
can you find such a wide variety of styles and fabrics to
choose from. "Yes, up to 70% off plus there is no charge
or obligation for in home estimates and most installations
are free as well," states Kerry.
Custom window treatments from The Blind Spot add to the am-
bience of any room.
The Blind Spot carries most "brand" names of win-
dow treatments in many fabrics, styles and colois. "I'm very
confident about my window treatments," Kerry says, "there
is a style, color or texture that will satisfy even the
choosiest of individuals." He is so sure of the high quali-
