Think Vacuums

Gator Vacuum was established in 1989 in Coral Springs, FL by Robert Buckwald. Having been born into the vacuum business and taught by his father Arnold, who owned several high volume vacuum stores in Brooklyn NY in the 1960s, he already had a head start in the industry at such a young age. Helping his father after school and every Saturday repairing vacuums in the 1970s provided him with on-the-job training and overall knowledge of the vacuum industry, which formed the core of who he is today. Learning responsibility and helping customers at that age made a real impression on Robert and taught him valuable lessons on how to run a business. The vacuum business has evolved from the days of disco balls, bell bottoms, and old-fashioned shag rugs. It's an ever-changing, always innovated business.
