Whirlwind Audio About Us

Creston B.C. is said by many to be the "Heart of the Kootenays". We separate the East and West Kootenays with a beautiful valley nestled between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges. Kootenay river runs through the valley from Idaho to the Kootenay lake. Awesome scenery and recreation year round, did I mention the fishing.

So "Why?" start a shop in the heart of the Kootenays. The above paragragh should say enough, but the truth is we are a small Canadian Company in a small town close to the border. This translates to tough competition. Our friends to the south love to sell on volume which makes competing with them on price somewhat of an embarrassment. So doing business in Creston for most people is somewhat of a challenge.

At Whirlwind we have decided to compete with better products, and better Service. We are selling products that you traditionally find in those specialty shops in the big city, and we will be very competitive. We try to sell Value Brands, which means that we can't afford to have it break down, and can't afford to have disappointed customers. We are happy to spend time to educate our clients, and make sure that we sell you what you want, and do not try and sell you things that we want.

Bill has worked in the sales and service industry for 20 years. With Bill's love of cars and music, he didn't go and find car audio it found him. Over the years he worked as an electronics salesman in Castlegar, Trail, and Calgary. These humble beginnings is what gave Bill tools to follow a dream. Bill always wanted to own his own business and what better opportunity then in a town he loves and people he enjoys.

Bill has found that Creston is an unusual town to do business in but has done his best to find the brands that work and work well. What is "Best Value"? Bill believes that it is product that sounds good, lasts long, and has a strong industry reputation. Bill also realizes that products change rapidly from year to year, and he is willing to change with it.
