Corporate Mission Statement: To Provide Retail Solutions to Enhance the Businesses and Lives of our Partners.

Jim Orr, President

Over the years, AVU has had retail locations throughout the Greater Vancouver area, with beautiful showrooms featuring home theatre vignettes and car audio sound rooms as well as and some of the most progressive customer satisfaction programs in the business. Always able to spot trends, Mr. Orr started contacting potential retail partners in 1999 to discuss the possibilities of working together to share costs and maximize profits. Today, AVU has 60+ locations - all but one are franchise partners located across Canada. This is a long term strategy that benefits everyone including the owners, staff and customers.

Seek out financially sound retailers in non-competing territories to join an alliance.
Give the independent dealers all of the benefits of a national powerhouse, while remaining in control of their own store.
Provide clearly positioned identity in their marketplace; drive sales and increase market share via aggressive advertising.
Buy as a group to maximize rebates; use spot buys to further enhance profitability.
