"We are pleased to announce the expansion of our company to Fredericksburg," said Denny Manes, CEO of Champion Window.  "Our continued growth, even in a down economy, is a testament to the Champion employees' dedication to quality customer service and providing a superior product."

With stores currently operating in 79 cities, Champion Window has been on the fast track to growth this past year. In 2010, seven stores were opened nationwide. This year, the home improvement company plans to open nine more. In light of the recent economic troubles, this 80th showroom opening marks a significant milestone for Champion Window.

"While many internal factors contribute to our customer satisfaction and business growth, we're also seeing external influences impacting our sales and growth," added Manes.  "Current economic conditions and energy costs top the list of such market drivers. We see more people choosing to stay in their current homes and upgrade them rather than trying to sell in a tight real estate market. Additionally, with the significant rise in energy costs in recent years, many homeowners are looking to energy-efficient products in order to save money. These savvy customers are upgrading their windows and or siding to more energy-efficient options which will eventually pay for themselves as a result of energy savings."

"We have also seen a lot of customers making improvements that allow them to take advantage of government tax incentives for installing energy-efficient windows and doors. These tax credits can save homeowners up to $500 depending on the project," said Manes.

Started in 1953, Champion Window, Door and Patio Room Company is one of the nation's leading home improvement companies. Champion builds and installs vinyl replacement windows, entry doors, patio rooms and siding, with more than 45,000 homeowners joining the ranks of customers on an annual basis. Champion's energy-efficient products help consumers save money on their utility bills year-round. Champion's control over every aspect of manufacturing, distribution, installation and servicing provides a single source of accountability for its customers, removing all concerns about who is responsible for their home improvement project. The company operates factories in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Denver, Colo.
