The search for an entrepreneurial opportunity ended and a business began when Dave & Michelle German invested in plantation shutters for their new Gilbert home many years ago. Intrigued by the process, Dave went through training, and the couple opened Elite Shutters and Blinds in 2005. Elite Shutters and Blinds continues to grow and now has six stores located in Chandler, Gilbert, Goodyear, Florence, Scottsdale & North Phoenix. Dave and his team always go to the customer's home to measure, find out each customer's need/want, show samples, review colors and offer design consulting.
