Custom Home Furnishings, LLC, was started in November of 1995 out of necessity. Necessity for us because we no longer wanted to work for other people and we saw a need for a store where everyone was treated fairly and honestly. We are the Gray brothers - Kevin and John.
During those first 5 years our business continued to grow and so did our faithful customer base. Our customers continued asking us to carry more and more products so they could continue buying from us. We found ourselves out of space when we received a call one day that our competitor would soon be going out of business. We quickly jumped on the opportunity to take over that building in the fall of 2000. The move would either make us or break us.
Going from a 6000 sq ft showroom to an over 20,000 sq ft showroom was a daunting task. Not only did we have to fill it, we also had to pay for it. As usual our loyal customers came through. They continued to buy more and more just the way they said they would. They sent in their friends and family to make purchases as well. From that point on there was no looking back. We were now a full-fledged furniture store whether we liked it or not.
As the next 8 years went by we continued to grow. Our philosophy of treating our customers like family has really paid off. In 2007 we were still hearing our customers asking for more: more lines, more products, more categories.
Then a unique opportunity presented itself. The high-end store in town, Murrow Furniture Galleries, was ready to sell out. Again we quickly jumped on the opportunity. This was an opportunity to expand our lines, expand on the sheer numbers of our products and give us a chance to increase our product categories. This seemed like the answer to our prayers. May 1, 2008, we opened Custom Home Furniture Galleries. It is a 50,000 sq ft furniture store offering coastal to traditional looks with price points to meet any budget.
We would like to thank all of our customers, friends and families for all their support during our years of business. And to those of you who are our future customers, we thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Kevin Gray & John Gray
