“The people who work in the store are very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. They carry a good selection of ceramic sculptures and feng shui ornaments, natural crystals and jade. I enjoy chatting with the workers there.”
“I recently purchased a fountain from Giannini Garden. I went 2-3 times before making my selection because they had so many fountains on site to look at. Each time I was given a personal tour by a knowledgeable employee. They always took their time to explain various options, build quality, price, maintenance and so on. It made the decision really easy once I found the perfect fountain. They built and painted a new one to my liking and had it delivered the same week for a minimal charge. It’s been running nonstop for over a month no. No issues. I would recommend this local company to anyone the Bay Area wanting authentic Italian fountains at a reasonable price, sold by very attentive staff. Thanks!”
“The SSF LazyBoy was the only store I visited out of four different stores that carried a power recliner small enough to accommodate my petite, elderly mother. The chair was completely comfortable when I sat in it - no squirming around, trying to find the sweet spot. Next, the staffer who assisted me, Stephen Cole, Store Manager, is the kindest, most helpful individuals one could hope to meet. He secured additional info about the chair I was interested in, offered delivery and old-chair-takeaway options, and, after I returned a few days later to buy the manual version of the chair for myself, Mr. Cole astutely added Chair #2 to Chair #1’s delivery reservation for just a few dollars more. Ultimately, two successful purchases of comfortable chairs with wonderful customer service; a comfortable shopping experience.”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
