Elko

Find out Why Everyone is Saying “Let’s Go to Elko!” by Melissa LaScaleia The healing benefits of water have been touted for millennia, but only recently does science concur. Warm water bathing increases serotonin levels, the chemical produced by the brain that’s associated with happiness and well being; submerging in water can reduce pain and inflammation; it also calms the nervous system, reducing levels of stress and anxiety in the body; and improves your mood. At the worst, stress can kill you, at the best, it contributes to premature aging and causes disease. Health is a topic close to the hearts of Kimberley and Michael Elko. With their combined experience in sales, marketing, and innovation, the two decided to start a business together as a family helping others relax and connect. “Many people are looking for a better solution to stress, pain, and overwhelm,” Kimberly says. “So we have a campaign for wellness: ‘Isn’t it Time to Relax?! …Let’s go to Elko.’”   Previous Next Elko Spas, Billiards & Pools, near the Market Common, has been a mainstay in the local community for more than thirty-five years. The family owned business sells most major brands of hot tubs, HotSpring Spas, in-ground and above-ground pools, saunas, pool tables and game room products. They can repair anything, and are an authorized service and repair as well as a warranty center. They also provide testing and solutions for optimal water health. “We have a lot of people who visit Elko Spas looking for relief from arthritis, sleep disorders, and fibromyalgia,” Kimberly says. “There are a lot of illnesses that a HotSpring spa or sauna can address. It benefits those looking for an alternative way to feel better. Even without health problems, I call the spa the new dinner table, because it’s a place to relax and reconnect with friends and family.” If you’re going to buy a hot tub, Elko’s spas are proven to last. They have been a highly decorated dealership since their inception in 2004, and 2022 is no exception. They won six of the biggest awards in the county for “Best Spa and Pool Dealership” including: Best of the Beach, Best of the Grand Strand, Best of the Herald, Best of the Carolina Forest Chronicle, Best of the North Strand, and Best of the South Strand. Locals consistently vote them #1 in the Spa & Pool industry both for their quality products and service. They’ve also garnered many awards and accolades both nationally and internationally in the arenas of customer service and dealership quality. In 2019 they won the HotSpring Southeast Dealer of the Year, beating out GA, SC, NC, and FL. “We feel so blessed from all the success,” Kimberly says. And the business seeks to stay active in and give back to the community. They belong to all the local area chambers and networking groups, and contribute to many local charities. The other side of Elko’s business is in game rooms. They carry pool tables and all the products and accessories for games you could need, like darts, ping pong, shuffleboard, and more. “Our showroom is spectacular,” Kimberly says. “And a huge draw for people of all ages because it’s both fun and informative. We have walls of accessories, water care supplies, game room products, and HotSpring spas on display. We are currently expanding so we can display even more.” Elko can customize anything: pools, spas, and spaces. With their complimentary design service, you can create your dream backyard-spa or indoor game space. Visit their showroom off of Palmetto Point Blvd. and 17 Bypass on the frontage road.

The Leader in the Hot Tub & Pool Industry For Horry & Georgetown County by Melissa LaScaleia Elko Spas, Billiards & Pools is family owned and operated by husband and wife team, Michael and Kimberly Elko. Their store has been a HotSpring Showroom for over thirty years. In 2004, the two purchased multiple businesses that were failing— businesses specializing in pools, Olhausen Pool tables, Hot tubs and HotSpring spas. Michael and Kimberly merged those locations— expanding their offerings to include in-ground and above-ground pools, HotSpring Spas & Jacuzzis, Finnelo Saunas, and game room products— to create Elko Spas, Billiards & Pools.  Today, locals have voted Elko the #1 leader in the Spa & Pool industry in Horry County. And they’ve garnered many awards and accolades both nationally and internationally in the arenas of customer service and dealership quality.  Most recently they won a Gold Award from Parents Magazine; were voted #1 by The Herald; and the Carolina Forest Chronicle and the Sun News both awarded them “Best Spa and Pool Dealership.” Kimberly has a background in art, design, and sales, and worked in New York City as a regional sales manager and a trainer in software graphics— a job which took her all around the country. As a self-professed water baby growing up in New Jersey, she was a life guard and swimming instructor working at the town pools. Michael was a marketing director for a Fortune 100 company. Early in his career, he was an integral part in creating the ubiquitous blue-bin curbside recycling program, which commenced in New Jersey. With their combined experience in sales, marketing, and innovation, the two decided to start a business together as a family. When they met, Michael had Chiari malformation, a condition in which the brain stem extends into the spinal canal. His complex health condition inspired them to look for a more gentle climate to call home. And because health was a topic so close to their hearts, they wanted to do something that would aid others in getting therapy as well.  When they discovered the opportunity to work in the pool and spa industry, they decided to relocate and keep the business going. Today, from consistent use of his own HotSpring spa and Finnelo Sauna, Michael is managing his pain medication free. “We have a lot of people who visit Elko Spas looking for relief from arthritis, sleep disorders, and fibromyalgia,” Kimberly says. “There’s a lot of illnesses that a HotSpring spa can address— even stress and injuries from an accident and kids who are hyper and stressed. I call the spa the new dinner table, because it’s a place to relax and reconnect, the conversations flow easily.” This Hot Spring Spa, the Spring-Highlife-NXT-2017 Aria-Alpine is one of their most popular models for this area.

We have tables on display, can customize anything, and offer pool table service and repairs, all here, by Elko employees.” “Life and health issues can be very stressful,” she adds. “Many people are looking for a better solution.
