Rapid Refill Ink opens in Blount TN
Brothers Kevin and Keith Kugley, and their dad David, have opened Rapid Refill Ink in Alcoa.
Although
new to Blount County, the Kugley’s already operate two Rapid Refill Ink
locations in Knoxville. The company refills and remanufactures inkjet
and laser toner cartridges.Rapid Refill Ink, a nationally franchised
chain, can refill 1,100 different inkjet cartridges and more than 200
models of toner cartridges. More than 400 million computer printers are
currently in use.”We picked this location because of its proximity to
Wal-Mart, Staples and Office Depot, said David Kugley.”Those stores try
to keep us out of their plazas because of the service we provide.”Our
service is good for the environment and we save consumers up to 70
percent of what they normally pay for ink cartridges.”In addition to
Rapid Refill Ink’s full-service store at 741 Louisville Road in the
Hamilton Crossing Plaza, the company also has 22 drop-boxes (similar to
film drop-off bins) throughout the area.At the drop-boxes, located
primarily in gas stations and convenience stores, customers can fill
out an envelope and drop their cartridge in the bin. The next morning,
the re-filled cartridge is waiting to be picked up at the gas station
or convenience store where it was dropped.”We use inks that are as good
as or better than the ink used by the original equipment
manufacturers,” said Kevin Kugley.”People just go nuts when they see
our prices. Not only are they saving money, but they’re getting far
more ink in their cartridges.”With some of the cartridges, we put twice
the amount of ink as what you get from a store in a new cartridge.The
Kugley’s said many of the computer printer manufacturers — companies
like Hewlett-Packard, Lexmark, Canon and Dell — are practically giving
away printers because they know they’ll make huge profits on the ink
cartridges.In addition to saving customers money on ink cartridges,
Rapid Refill Ink says the company keeps millions of plastic inkjet and
toner cartridges out of America’s landfills. According to the company,
eight cartridges are thrown away every second.Keith Kugley said, “I’m
excited to be offering this service to my neighbors — and I’m proud to
be in such an ecologically aware area.”The new Rapid Refill Ink store
is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
