Poolside is a leading retailer of
pools, spas and all related products. The original company, Mukwonago Pool Supply, was founded by Robert (Bob)
Sivak in 1981. Bob, a recently
retired Washington High school teacher, started his business
as a summer job servicing his neighbors' pool supply needs
from a shelf or two in his garage. Overtime, his
on-the-side business began to outgrow the garage and Bob
decided it was time to expand his showroom to carry more
product lines to better serve his growing customer base.
Bob’s hardworking Midwestern work ethic
proved to be the heart and soul of MPS and the backbone of
the customer service it provided. Son, Chris Sivak, learned
at an early age (8) what it took to build a successful
business. His first paycheck back in 1981 was a mask,
snorkel and fins. Now his son Chris, a graduate of
UW-Madison with 7 years sales and marketing experience, has
joined Bob at Poolside.
Putting their heads together the design and construction of the current
business location of Poolside LLC was conceived in the Fall
of 2004. The goal
was to keep the “out-of-the-garage/neighborly” atmosphere
while continuing to offer exceptional customer service.
Although the business has come a long
way from the shelves in the garage, some things will never
change. You'll always be treated like a good neighbor
at Poolside -- from the value and the quality, to the
service. And of course we'll always carry your
purchases out to the car for you!
