Today is a great day for some reflection. 3 years ago was our first day open as Cajun Pump & Supply. As some of you know, during the peak of the Covid Pandemic, our old company made the decision to shut down our entire branch and lay everyone off. This included 2 people with over 35 years with the same company and the others all with more than 10 years. That left us feeling pretty low, but we had a decision to make. We could either sit at home and wait for companies to start hiring again, or start up a company and try to make it on our own. We chose the latter and it was the best decision we could have made.
Our friends at Cypress Machine Shop, Inc. welcomed us with open arms. They cleaned out some space space in the warehouse behind their shop and gave us a place to call home. We definitely could not have done it without them.
We also can’t thank our customers enough, they made the start up so easy. Not one of them even hesitated when we contacted them to see if they would set us up as a vendor. We truly have the best customers any business could ask for and we cannot be more grateful.
And to our family and friends who helped us along the way, that means more than anyone can imagine. Having people in your corner who you know just have your best interest in mind makes a huge difference.
Then as fate would have it, we got a call one day to make a stop at our old shop. The owners of one of our oldest vendors bought it and wanted us to show him around. Then he made us an offer we couldn’t refuse and we moved back to where we all worked for so many years. That was truly a blessing and we love being back at the old shop.
As we wrap this up, we just want to reiterate our thanks to everyone who has made this possible. The last 3 years has been incredible and we hope we have many many more years to come.
If you are reading this and ever need anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. Customer service is our #1 priority. It’s not just something we say, we really do mean it.
From everyone at Cajun Pump, we hope you all have a great day!
