Spa
Lake Norman Pool & Spa was started in 1987 as Statesville Pool & Spa in a small building in downtown Statesville on Center Street. Owner Bob Dooley realized the need for a full-service pool and spa retail store offering water analysis, pool and spa maintenance products, and service. The business concentrated on the sales of above-ground pools, spas and at-home service for these products. In 1991 Statesville Pool and Spa was chosen to be an Authorized Dealer for Bioguard Pool and Spa Products, which has long been known as the leading supplier for quality pool and spa chemicals along with the intensive training supplied to its dealer network. As the business grew and more pools and spas were installed in the area, it soon became apparent that more room was needed to service the expanding customer base. In 1994, Bob and his wife Dedie purchased property at 411 South Center Street and constructed a 7000 sq. ft. building to house a retail showroom, offices, and warehouse. This new location was soon recognized as one of the premier pool and spa retail stores in the Carolinas, and the place to go for professional help for pool and spa owners. As the retail business grew, so did the service end of the business, and the company soon found itself installing and repairing equipment throughout Iredell County and surrounding areas. With the tremendous population growth experienced by Southern Iredell and the Lake Norman area, Statesville Pool and Spa set its sights on the Cornelius area for expansion, and in 1998, land was purchased on Statesville Road in Cornelius for the construction of a second retail location. In 1999, construction was started and finished on the Cornelius location, to be called Lake Norman Pool & Spa. It was soon realized that it simply made better sense to call the whole company Lake Norman Pool & Spa, so the name of the Statesville store was changed to Lake Norman Pool & Spa also. As with the Statesville store, the Cornelius store was soon recognized as the leader in the area surrounding the eastern side of Lake Norman and points south. Our expansion has continued in 2004 with the opportunity to take over the former location of Denver Pool and Spa on Hwy. 16 in Denver, NC, giving Lake Norman Pool & Spa the ability to provide its high level of service to the fast growing western side of Lake Norman. After extensive remodeling, the Denver store location opened in the spring of 2006 with the same high standards followed by the other Lake Norman Pool and Spa locations. An outdoor pool park, showcasing full size working displays of both in ground and above ground pools, was completed at this store location in 2009. The last major part of a multi-year expansion was completed in 2009 with the occupation of new facility on South Tradd Street in Statesville, behind our Statesville store. This location serves as not only a warehouse and distribution point for the 3 stores, but also as a corporate office and home for our service and construction divisions.
