KWAL Paint Offers 40 Percent Discount on Paint to all Community Members with Discount Cards through March

KWAL Paint in Galveston is offering a 40 percent discount on paint to all members of the Galveston community through the end of March. KWAL Paint 40 percent discount cards may be picked up at the Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF) Architectural Salvage Warehouse at 910 23rd Street. The Salvage Warehouse is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. The phone number there is 409-750-9108.

Galveston’s KWAL Paint Store Manager Sam Navarro says he encourages residents who have already been given the 40 percent discount cards to use them before the end of March.

“Even if you haven’t reached the point in your restoration to do the painting, go ahead and buy your paint for the job now, so you can reap the benefits of the 40 percent discount before the end of March,” says Navarro.

The KWAL discount card also offers a 30 percent discount on all painting supplies such as brushes, rollers, drop cloths and painters’ tape.

“KWAL has been a very valuable corporate partner with GHF,” says Dwayne Jones, GHF executive director. “Their long-standing discount for GHF members has been a powerful incentive to join the foundation.”

GHF members receive a 30 percent discount at KWAL paint year-round.

“Support from GHF business partners like KWAL and the benefits they pass on to the community help Galvestonians maintain the buildings and character for which the city is known,” says Jones.

Information about and registration for GHF membership is available online at www.galvestonhistory.org or by calling 409-765-7834.

The Galveston retail location for KWAL Paint is at 1515 31st Street (between Avenue N and O) and can be reached by calling (409) 763-5909. The standard KWAL Paint GHF member discount of 30 percent applies at all stores, nationwide.
