The world-renowned Solvang Antique Center sells to new owners after
35 years of service and dedication to their clients.

Solvang, CA (PRWEB) March 25, 2010 -- The Solvang Antique Center, one
of America's most respected Antique Collectives, celebrates its 35th
anniversary with an exciting change of ownership.  Dwight and Arlene
Steffensen have purchased the Antique Center from its founders and
specialist antique clock dealers, Ron and Julie Palladino.  The
Steffensens have ambitious plans to build on the legacy of this much
loved business, while continuing to provide the high level of product
quality and customer service that has delighted customers from all over
the world.

Born in Fresno, California, and sweethearts from the age of 15, Dwight
and Arlene have recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary.
They have two children and four grandchildren and currently share their
time between Solvang, Cambria and Carmel.  Their corporate identity,
LEADS, is an acronym for their family initials: their children, Lisa
and Eric, and their own names, Arlene and Dwight Steffensen.  Their
mission is to grow the business through leadership techniques Dwight
successfully applied during his rise to the top of three highly
successful distribution companies.  The Steffensen's core business
strategy is to be leaders in their industry, not followers.

The entire sales and support staff will be remaining on, and are
excited about the expansion of the Antique Center.  They welcome both
regular and new customers to call on them for any and all of their
antique needs.  Ron and Julie Palladino, internationally-respected
antique clock dealers, will also be continuing on as part of the
Solvang Antique Center team, focusing on the acquisition, restoration
and sales of the high quality antiques their customers have come to
expect from this unique business.
