Bethesda, Md. – Seven retailers of window fashions with combined sales of $40 million have banded as a co-op group under the Exciting Windows national design and merchandising business, which already has some 70 member retailers.

“We’ve attracted seven large dealers, whose annual sales figures range from $3 to $6 million, to come together and be more competitive and dominant in their markets by continuing to work under their existing name and control their company’s operations, but adding the Exciting Windows brand of service,” said Steven Bursten, ceo of Exciting Windows.

Carl Movrich of Drapery Connection in Downers Grove, Ill.; Bruce Heyman of Metropolitan Window Fashions in North Plainfield, N.J.; Steve & Cheri Roellchen of One-Stop Decorating in Kansas City, Mo.; Will Bathke of Aero Drapery in Minneapolis; Jeff Kaplan of Innu Window in Natick, Mass.; Ken McWilliams of ABC Blinds in Austin, Texas; and Mike O’Daniel of Arizona Blinds in Peoria, Ariz. are the new Exciting Windows members.
