Bruce
an Joy Rothschild have operated their family-owned
business since 1993. Customer service before,
during, and long after a spa purchase has
been a cornerstone of their business. "Our
customers come in to visit us for months,
or even years, after a spa purchase to tell
us how much they continue to use and enjoy
their spas. Says Bruce. Joy adds, "A
lot of our customers have given us wonderful
feedback about, not only the great health
benefits but also the improved quality of
time with family."
Hot
Spring Spas of Central Florida has received
many
industry recognition
awards in their ten
years of business
in Central Florida. Most Prestigious among
them, Hot Spring Spas of Brevard was recently
recognized as an "Aqua 100 Dealer"
for their fourth year in a row. Being named
to the Aqua 100 is one of the highest honors
that a pool and spa business can receive.
They are again, the only pool and spa dealer
to receive this honor in the state of Florida.
The
Rest Of The Story...
Bruce
Rothschild started in the spa industry in
1984,
working for his cousin's Jeff Claypool and
Craig Inouye
at Lifestyle Spas in Northridge, California.
His duties included the delivery and setup
of portable spas (hot Spring Spas, Jacuzzi
Spas and Cal Spas) and the installation of
in-ground spas and wooden hot tubs. Bruce
soon graduated to inside sales, and within
a few months was promoted to sales manager.
He spent over seven years with Lifestyle Spas
until he went to work for Softub Inc.
Bruce
became the international sales trainer for
Softub Inc. and after starting from scratch
designed
and
implemented a 3 day training seminar for all
new and existing Softub dealers worldwide.
He successfully trained over 2000 dealers
and their staff from around the world. Bruce
started a traveling road show for the dealer
network and he traveled over 39 states and
6 countries, meeting with owners and their
sales staff and training them.. Bruce also
helped with the design and location of their
showrooms and show booths.
In 1993, Bruce and Dean Kleinrath (former
service manger and part owner of Lifestyle
Spas) opened up a
Hot Spring Spas of Melbourne, Florida
in October of that year. This 6,000 sq. ft.
showroom and warehouse was on New Haven Ave.
The first year of business saw them double
the sales of the previous owners and earned
Bruce and Dean the award "Best New Dealer"
from Watkins Mfg, the maker of Hot Spring
Portable Spas.
Joy
Rothschild soon joined Bruce and Dean to expand
their dealership with their
showroom
in the beautiful Indian River Mall in Vero
Beach. Besides raising their two children,
Joy also handles all the day-to-day operations
at both showrooms, and manages the Indian
River Mall store. Dean retired in 1999 and
is enjoying a lifestyle that would make both
the Crocodile Hunter and Jeff Corwin jealous!
Joy
and Bruce found a fantastic new location in
2002 and moved in immediately into their new
Superstore. They are finally able to
bring to the Space Coast an incredible sized
showroom to show off the complete line of
portable spas offered by Watkins Mfg. Inc.
They now have on display the entire line of
Hot Spring Spas, Tiger River Spas, Caldera
Spas, and Solana and Oasis Spas. Joy and Bruce
are only one of 8 dealers in the world to
carry this complete line of incredible spas.
Other
products include: The Big
Green Egg (the finest cooker smoker in
the world), hammocks, spa and pool
toys and a complete line of spa chemicals
such as: BaquaSpa, Brilliance (a new line
of Chlorine-Free Bromine) and Leisure Time
chemicals. Our combined buying power allows
us to offer the Space and Treasure Coast the
best selections of the world's finest water
and relaxation products, and offer them to
