You’ve gotta grab opportunity when it comes along, even when the economy’s a little wonky. We started out renovating the old place but when we got the chance to move next door and grow 60% bigger we didn’t think twice (which sort of explains a couple things Jim bought that are now in the clearance area). It’s meant six months of hard work and chaos but it’s been worth it. Applegate & James has the freshest, most modern showroom with the hottest new styles in fully decorated settings and our usual eye-opening savings (a lot has changed but our uncompromising sense of value is one thing we’ll always have).
It all starts in the parking lot with our big front window that’s as much of a billboard for what’s inside as the sign right next to it. Look for it to change often and every display to be a knockout. Inside the store stretches way off in the distance. No, that’s not a mirror you’re looking into, that’s more store back there. It’s simple to get around, just walk straight ahead and you’ll make the great circle tour returning through a series of different showrooms. Don’t worry if you want to go back to something you saw before - there’s plenty of opportunities to cut back to where you’ve already been.
Whether you’re looking for impeccable quality or something reasonably priced that can stand up to a little rough-housing from the family, we’ve got you covered. Yes, heirloom quality does cost more but you’ll be surprised how much quality you can get without mortgaging the kids.
Need some decorating help? Bring along colour swatches and dimensions and our talented staff will be happy to give you advice on choosing what’s right for your room. Nothing’s worse than furniture that doesn’t fit in the room or looks hideous with that expensive wing chair you just had recovered. Bringing those samples goes a long way in stopping that from happening.
Visit Applegate & James not only for furniture but gifts and those little decorating accessories that bring a room to life. We’ve always been known for great home décor and now we’ve got a chance to show you more than ever before. Cathy and her buying team spend days at trade shows, visiting showrooms and consulting with reps to bring you the best of what’s new. That sounds like fun to a lot of people. What they don’t realize is it’s really a lot of work – but you’re worth it! (Okay it is kind of neat to catch the new trends before they hit the stores but it still means a lot of long, hard days of work).
It’s not just about the building or the displays though, your greatest asset - and the pride of Applegate & James Furniture – are the staff. You’ll find them helpful, attentive and fun to be around from the sales staff to the clerical personnel to the guys on the delivery truck. You’ve got questions? Make them toughies - we love the challenge.
We’ve always recycled our packaging but we’ve also taken the opportunity with this move to become more environmentally sound. For one thing we’ve eliminated most of those high voltage track lights in favour of soft, next generation fluorescents that produce a clean, accurate light for a more true sense of colour while using a fraction of the energy. They cost more up front but they not only save in the long run, they’re the environmentally responsible thing to use.
So visit the freshest new furniture store in the area and feel free to bring along some friends – they’ll thank you for the introduction.
