Lynden Paint & Flooring: Transforming Homes and Serving the Community
For more than 40 years, Lynden Paint & Flooring has been a trusted cornerstone of home improvement in the community. The store first opened in 1980, specializing in flooring and paint. Trey Vogt, the current owner, began working there as a high school student and worked up to eventually take over the business.
“I took over the business and have continued to build on its foundation, expanding our offerings to include cabinets, countertops, and full interior design solutions,” Vogt explains.
Today, the store offers a wide range of products, including carpet, vinyl, hardwood, tile, paint supplies, and hardware. Vogt has also emphasized interior design services, helping customers choose the right cabinets, countertops, and fixtures for their homes. “We are a complete shop now. Customers can come here for everything they need for a project, and we guide them through the process,” he says.
What sets Lynden Paint & Flooring apart, Vogt says, is the level of personal service. The store not only sells products but also coordinates installation with licensed contractors, ensuring projects are completed efficiently and professionally. “We help people through the entire process. That is what really makes a difference,” he says.
Running a small business comes with its challenges. Vogt points to competition from large chains and big box stores as one of the biggest hurdles. “It can be a race to the bottom with pricing. We focus on quality products, competitive pricing, and fast service. That combination keeps our customers coming back,” he says.
Despite its size, the team of three work closely together, covering sales, design, and operations. Vogt remains hands-on, spending his days assisting customers, teaching design options, and managing the store. “I enjoy seeing a home transformed and knowing we helped make that happen,” he says.
Community involvement is also important to Vogt. He supports local schools, youth sports teams, and nonprofits with donations and sponsorships. “I grew up a mile from the store, so giving back to the community is a natural part of what we do,” he explains.
Whether someone is updating a single room or completing a full home renovation, Lynden Paint & Flooring combines a wide selection of products with personal service, expert guidance, and a commitment to the local community. For Vogt and his team, it is more than a store. It is a place where homes are improved and projects are brought to life.

Chances are, you’ve driven by a soccer field at some point in your life and noticed the names on the back of the players’ jerseys or you’ve sat in a hockey arena and seen the rink board advertisements, but you likely haven’t given them much thought beyond that. In this issue of the Pulse, we’ll explore the cost of sponsoring a sports team and the benefits, for the businesses doing the sponsoring, the sports teams that get sponsored, and beyond.
Sponsoring a local sports team can be fairly inexpensive, ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand per season, according to TeamSnap. The price of the sponsorship will vary depending on the sport, the package you pick—will your logo be featured on their website, a banner, the back of their jerseys, or all of the above? It will also depend on what league the team you are sponsoring is in, with travel teams being more expensive than house league teams. By having sponsorship options at different price points, businesses can pick a package that fits their budget. So, what are the benefits of sponsoring a sports team? Why do so many businesses do it?
Probably the most obvious benefit of sponsoring a sports team is that it gets your name out there. Having your company’s name on the back of a team’s jersey or on a banner at a sports field allows your name to be seen by a large number of people, including coaches, players, parents and any other spectators that may have come to watch the team play. This can be especially beneficial for new businesses who don’t have national brand recognition or haven’t been in the community for generations.
People want to do business with people they like, and sponsoring a local sports team is a great way to build relationships with residents and show you care about the community. Sports is something that many people are very passionate about, so if you choose to sponsor a team that you have a personal connection with, it will be even easier for you to build genuine connections over it.
If you sponsor a sports team and make it a point to attend the games, you never know who you may end up connecting with. Any of the coaches, players, parents or other spectators could be a potential client or referral partner for you, and you never know who they may know and be able to introduce you to as well.
Sponsors help offset the purchase costs of team jerseys and club equipment for sports organizations and allows them to keep registration fees affordable. Keeping the registration fees low is important, as cost can be a significant barrier to entry. In fact, according to a national survey of parents by the Aspen Institute’s Project Play initiative and Utah State University’s Families in Sport Lab, youth ages 6-18 from low-income homes quit sports because of the financial costs at six times the rate of kids from high-income homes.
By keeping sports more affordable, and therefore, more accessible, you are contributing to the people in your community having better health, interpersonal, educational and employment outcomes. Playing sports is a great form of physical activity, which the American Heart Association says can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, help you manage stress and tension, boost your energy level, and help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. According to the University of San Diego, research also suggests that former student athletes are more productive at work and see as much as 7%–8% higher annual earnings than those who did not participate in youth sports.
There are numerous benefits of sponsoring a local sports team. Businesses should consider sponsoring a team in their area for the benefit of not only themselves, but also the community as a whole.
