Allan Laskey of Grand Traverse Dock & Hoist

10.18.2023

From a teenager working at a small cottage, dock & hoist maintenance company to the proud owner of the esteemed Grand Traverse Dock & Hoist in Michigan, Allan Laskey's journey is nothing short of remarkable.

Starting at 16, Allan's journey in the waterfront industry began at a cottage maintenance company. Noticing an unfilled gap in the market at 22, Allan acquired the business and soon introduced ShoreStation to his customers—realizing there wasn't a local dealer in his area.

The ShoreStation story began for Allan 23 years ago. Fast forward to today, and he stands as the Top ShoreStation Dock Dealer in Michigan. Such dedication led Allan, five years ago, to realize his vision of a brick-and-mortar store: Grand Traverse Dock & Hoist. And while he’s experienced various manufacturers, for the past half-decade, Allan has loyally sold only ShoreStation.

Allan's wisdom from his journey? "Even if you don’t buy from me, invest in a ShoreStation. It's the difference between contentment and true satisfaction."

Having hands-on experience with every brand, Allan stands firm on ShoreStation's superior quality, even asserting that a 30-year-old ShoreStation lift still offers exceptional service.
