PURE LIVING The EdenPure Factory Outlet promotes greener, healthier homes that are equipped to aid in allergy relief. In addition to its regular stores, the company now sells goods at its factory outlet at Polaris. The main focus is air and water purifiers.
According to manager Kevin Foraker, PurATron Best Air is an air purification system that can eliminate unpleasant odors, toxins, particles or mold in minutes in an area of 3,000 square feet. Prices start at $597, compared with $1,200 elsewhere. You’ll also find PurATron vacuums that kill germs and sanitize as they suck up dirt, water purification systems that produce fresh drinking water and portable heaters that use infrared heat to provide fast, even heat.
Other products at the outlet include EdenPure surgical steel cookware, a Ball Bike for $299 that offers cardio and core exercises and NuWave portable ovens that combine convection, conduction and infrared heat.
EdenPure Factory Outlet, 1249 Polaris Pkwy. (in Polaris Towne Center, in front of T.J. Maxx), 848-7873; edenpureoutlets.com. Open Mon-Sat 11 am-5 pm and Sun noon-6 pm through July; hours may change.
UNDER FOOT America’s Floor Source is a commercial/wholesale operation that supplies first-quality flooring to builders, Realtors, designers, property managers and the public, so it’s got plenty of bulk buying power. That gives customers an opportunity to buy flooring at up to 75 percent off by shopping at the outlet and showroom on Trabue Road, where owner Jason Goldberg says prices are lower than competitors’.
You’ll find well-known brands such as Shaw, Mohawk and Armstrong. Carpeting and all other flooring is first quality, not irregular or discontinued—the outlet pulls stock from its store locations in Columbus and three other cities. When I was there, I saw three boxes of Shaw laminate flooring priced at $10 per box. They would cover 45 square feet, which would complete a 9-by-5-foot bathroom for $30. I also saw mosaic tile at $15 a box.
The outlet and the regular America’s Floor Source on the city’s east side also have a Mobile Floor Source—a van that can come to your home or office with thousands of samples to make shopping easier.
America’s Floor Source Outlet and Showroom, 3657 Trabue Rd. (between Rt. 33 and Rome-Hilliard Road), 429-3121; americasfloorsource.com. Open Mon-Fri 7:30 am-4:30 pm, Sat 9 am-4 pm; closed Sun.
VISIBLE VALUE Eyemart Express might be able to provide glasses for you at a low price in a short time. According to Donald Ault, general manager of the Morse Road location, you’ll find around 2,500 frames priced from $9.95 to $159.95. Many of these are designer and brand names, and there is a free frame breakage warranty on your purchase. Each store has an optometrist, and there’s a full-service lab to deliver most prescriptions in about an hour. The company honors some eye insurance, so check your coverage with them before you go.
Eyemart Express, 4030 Morse Rd., 478-9400; 1770 Stringtown Rd., Grove City, 875-8728; 6301 Sawmill Rd., Dublin, 792-2020; 2418 Taylor Park Dr., Reynoldsburg, 861-9800; 1141 Polaris Pkwy., 436-3593; eyemartexpress.com. Open Mon-Fri 9 am-7 pm, Sat till 5 pm; closed Sun.
ANOTHER TIME Chris Swenson has added another store to her consignment business with One More Time Plus, a new space across the parking lot from the original One More Time in Grandview.
