Progress: Brown's Furniture

Posted

Stan and Jason Brown opened the doors of their namesake business, Brown's Furniture, on Oct. 15, 2003.

Ensuring customers get a good value for their dollar was one of the primary reasons the Browns ventured into the furniture industry.

"We felt as though by going into business for ourselves, we would be more in control of the quality of our products and being certain our customers receive the first rate service they deserve," Stan Brown said.

The Sumter natives feel like being part of the local business community is very rewarding.

"But it's also a lot of responsibility," he said. "We work hard and keep an eye on the details, especially the financial aspect – accounts receivable and payable and all the day to day operations."

Over the course of the next few years, the Browns look to expand both their physical footprint as well as offering more quality furniture lines to the public.

"Interacting with customers is the most fun, though," Brown said. "Building relationships with people is what it's all about. We grew up here and want everyone to know that we care about this community and that they can trust us."

In their spare time, Jason coaches baseball and spends time with his wife and their three sons, who are 2, 7 and 10. Stan enjoys running and fishing and family time as well.

The Browns have embraced the small town atmosphere this area has come to be known for and continue to work hard to build upon their reputation for quality, caring and service.

"A lot of our customers become our friends," he said.

Most days at Brown's Furniture involve keeping tabs on deliveries and planning future orders, then going over e-mails and social media accounts and paperwork.

"We're a family owned business," he said. "We believe in the highest quality customer service. We go out of our way to make sure that everyone is happy. We pride ourselves on service. If you have a problem we will make the time to solve the problem and ensure no more issues arise. We just want you to be happy."
