About Us


At CLA, we have been selling, installing, and repairing gas grills since 1986. In that year Lark and Adelma, along with two of their three children, decided to start a family business based on the sales, installation, and repair of outdoor gas grills. We were then, and still are, factory representatives for a number of major grill brands and still do warranty repair work for some of those brands.

The CLA in our company name stands for Carl, Lark, Linda, and Adelma. In a 1959 photo displayed on our home page, Lark (dad) is shown demonstrating the first Arkla gas grill. That's right, the very first Arkla gas grill. It wasn't much more than a big pot with a burner connected to a propane bottle. Lark spent the next 23 years with the Arkla company, one of the very first major producers of outdoor gas grills for the retail market. He spent 13 years in Europe marketing Arkla gas grills.

Today, twenty-some years later, miraculously it seems, we're still here and growing. CLA has grown with the addition of daughter Sandy and several grandchildren. We're truly a family business with three generations reporting for work every day. Like others trying to survive in the online world of today, we have established a website through which we sell high quality grill replacement parts and BBQ accessories for most major grill brands.
