Furniture
Plus first opened in 1983 in a small rented house on
East Southern in Mesa Arizona. A large storage shed
was built in the back for our warehouse. Every day we
would move furniture out front on a slab of concrete
we poured in the yard. This was our showroom.
It
was a great way a getting attention to our store from
the passing cars. We sold a lot of Furniture out of
that little house. We had such a low overhead we sold
Furniture at a lower price that anyone. We often thought
about moving into a shopping center like some of the
other Furniture stores in the area. We knew however
if we did that our overhead would go up and we would
have to raise our prices. Then we would be just like
all the other stores.
Finally
in 1989 we
purchased
a building from Houge Printing. We did some remodeling
and moved into it a short time later.
When
we were finished we had a lot more room to display our
furniture. We were still able to keep our overhead to
a minimum and continue to offer our low prices. Our
business really began to grow and in 1997 we were able
to purchase additional land to the East and add more
showroom and warehouse space.
This
is our store today in beautiful Mesa, Arizona. We have
almost 20,000 square feet of showroom to display our
furniture. We offer name brand furniture at a low price.
We keep our overhead to a minimum,offer excellent customer
service, and have a great sales staff.
Our philosophy of doing business at Furniture Plus is
simple "Lower operating costs mean lower prices"
We are not paying high lease rates like many of our
competitors. We own our own building and have a very
modest mortgage payment. This allows us to keep our
prices lower than our competition.
We offer
quality name brand furniture at a low price We have
a great staff of people to work with, and we have excellent
customer service. This has been a combination that has
worked for Furniture Plus for the past 21 years.
One
of the first things you well see different at Furniture
Plus is our catalog and order center. We have a complete
library of manufactures catalogs to look through. Some
of our customers spend hours browsing through page after
page of name brand furniture. Order exactly what you
want. Choose from over 200 manufacturers and over 3000
custom fabrics!!!!
