Mobley Pool Company, winners of The Eagle's Readers' Choice Award for "Best Pool Store" for the fifth year in a row, values honesty as well as integrity.
Owner Gary Mobley said, "Just to be nominated is a great thing. I feel honored that people would take the time and effort to vote for us for the Readers' Choice Award."
Mobley graduated from college and went to work for the original "Mobley Pool Guy," his father, John Mobley.
"My dad was always in business for himself. I never really thought I would work for somebody else. I always knew my dad and I would work together. It didn't even cross my mind to work somewhere else," he said.
After 36 years of servicing the Brazos Valley, Mobley said his company policy has never changed: Be honest and do the best job possible.
"We stay informed so that we can provide the customer with the highest quality product and workmanship. We want to provide the customer with a first-class experience, so we always aim to be polite and greet people with a big, friendly smile."
Integrity is also a trait Mobley shares with his employees. "I feel obligated to do my best for Mobley Pool Company because the families of my employees are depending on the business for their livelihoods. I obviously cannot do it by myself, so I need to take care of the employees I have. I've had two employees for 28 years now. I treat my employees like they are part of the business, not working for the business."
One of the best compliments Mobley receives is business referrals from others in the community.
"I sell more pools from referrals than any other form of advertising," Mobley said. "When you refer someone, you are going out on a limb for that person. We would like to thank our loyal customers for their continual support. It is a pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful community."
So if you want the best-built pool - and the best-rated service four years running - you want a Mobley pool.
