we are locally owned. I hope this means something to you because it does to me. We are able to provide better service with aggressive pricing. See below to see what you “buying local” means to us in this valley.
low competitive prices. Our prices are OUTSTANDING but we are so much more! We realize that price is VERY important in today’s market and we know our competitors and know what they charge. The fact is, no one is lowest on every item . At the end of the day you will find us among the lowest total cost but with outstanding service the others don’t have.

just darn friendly people. Well, it’s true! We can tell you all day how great this is, but you just have to experience it. These are people you would want to be your friends (maybe even your family). They are sincere about it. It is not very often you can hang up the phone and say, “that was a great experience”.
no hassle returns. We make it easy but yes, there is some fine print. Special ordered furniture, chair mats, folding tables, anything custom and anything not in it’s original packaging are evaluated case by case.

In an independent study called the Andersonville Study of Retail Economics locally-owned businesses generate a substantial Local Premium in enhanced economic impact.
- For every $100 in consumer spending with a local firm, $68 remains in the local economy.
- For every $100 in consumer spending with a chain firm, $43 remains in the local economy.
- For every square foot occupied by a local firm, local economic impact is $179.
- For every square foot occupied by a chain firm, local economic impact is $105.
The study suggests clear policy implications:
- Local merchants generate substantially greater economic impact than chain firms.
- Replacement of local businesses with chains will reduce the overall vigor of the local economy.
- Changes in consumer spending habits can generate substantial local economic impact.
- Great care must be taken to ensure that public policy decisions do not inadvertently disadvantage locally owned businesses. Indeed, it may be in the best interests of communities to institute policies that directly protect them.
