Operational Update: July 2011 – WorldMark Branson

It is almost time for children to head back to school, but before they do, one last summer vacation may be in order. Need a suggestion? We have just the answer: Branson, Missouri!

Branson is located just 35 miles south of Springfield on the shores of Lake Taneycomo in the Ozark Mountains. Branson’s famous ‘End of Summer Events’ series is happening right now, providing something for the entire family to enjoy. You can experience the stunning sights and sounds of the ‘Live Entertainment Capital of the World’ aboard the Showboat Branson Belle, featuring music and comedy headliners. Or try your hand at trout fishing– we hear it’s plentiful all year long.

Although Branson spans only 19 square miles and houses a population of just a little more than 7,000, it is home to more than 200 lodging facilities with more than 18,000 rooms. Now that’s music to our ears!

At the WorldMark Branson, they understand that with technology constantly progressing, hotels and vacation condos are forced to keep up with the times. Now that flat screen TVs are becoming more prevalent in the hotel industry, management has been having a hard time fitting the new TVs into the old armoires. Enter The Refinishing Touch. With 81 one-, two- and three-bedroom units, WorldMark Branson was the perfect place to showcase our skills.

Our team modified all of the existing armoires at the WorldMark Branson property to accommodate their new flat screens. After modification, a uniform finish was applied and new laminate topped it all off.  According to our Carbon Footprint Calculator, the World Mark Branson project only released 1.0044 tons of CO2 versus the 101.509 tons of CO2 that would have come from purchasing new furniture.

Because WorldMark chose us to modernize their facility, they qualified to receive our Sustainability Efforts Award. Our award is presented to companies that make an environmentally-thoughtful decision to decrease their carbon footprint by renewing their existing furniture assets. We strive to produce an excellent quality of work for all of our clients, but we also strive to do so in an environmentally-conscious manner. We are proud to say that we have received the US General Services Administration Evergreen Award for innovative, environmentally-friendly practices, and can return the courtesy to our clients. So, with another successful project under our belts, we look forward to what’s in store for us. In the meantime, Branson, Missouri could be what’s in store for you!
