“We had a great experience with Cameron. He was not pushy, but was very knowledgeable and understanding of our needs. Please drop in to Metro Mattress for your mattress needs.”
“I started coming in a few months ago after driving right past the storefront for far too long, since the store is tucked behind a tractor supply store. I usually come with my friend, who is a regular, and they always put on her favorite album whenever we come in. I shop while she jams! The store is well organized, dust-free, and full of eclectic memorabilia, including local and regional items, well-done upcycled furniture and decor, and original artwork. Plus their album vendor has a fantastic collection. Prices are reasonable and the collection varies enough to stay interesting for regulars. I usually come with a shortlist of items I’m interested in, on behalf of friends who have less time to frequent the shops than I’m fortunate to have—and this makes the trips even more fun. They (and I) are always delighted but what I find. I’m glad this store brings so much fun and charm to this corner of Athens.”
“Epiphany is my favorite place to shop by far, not only for the beautiful clothes, jewelry, and other special gifts but also because of the kindest, most loving staff. You leave the store not only excited about your purchases but feeling so uplifted, thought of, and prayed for by the staff.Here's just a few pieces that I keep coming back to and have gotten so many compliments on.Thanks for always making me feel confident, beautiful, and cared for Epiphany”
“This is a cute local furniture store. There's a lot packed into a small space, but it didn't feel too cluttered or crowded to me. The stuff they had was nice. You could also find smaller gift items here. The staff was really nice and polite. It was an all around good visit. The parking is very limited and directly off of the street. It can be tricky to get in and out of safely.”
“I have shopped at the Athens Georgia store several times in the past and this time I was just looking at the holiday merchandise. I did purchase a fair amount, but in the process lost a ring that was important to me. I immediately called the store back to let them know if they find it, please let me know. I thought it was gone forever, but Mr. RJ Smith found it, called me and I came to pick it up. All of the employees I encountered were kind and generous. The store has a lot of merchandise and I highly recommend this at home store.”
“The Starlite Showroom is the best place to find vintage furniture, albums, lamps, etc. the owner, Markie, is the salt of the earth and generally just a superlative human being.”
“METRO MATTRESS- Absolutely an awesome company to do business with. Professional sales people, answering all my many questions, never any pressure, best of all they did exactly what they said they would do and precisely when they said they would do it. The delivery guys were exactly on time, very professional, polite and a pleasure to work with. In a world where customer service is very hard to come by, Metro Mattress came through with flying colors. Thanks guys!”
“I love this gorgeous, well-curated shop and design company in Athens. Locally owned and operated, BMA at Home is run by the tasteful and friendly Breckyn Alexander. There are gift items at various price points as well as a lovely selection of housewares, fixtures, and furniture. Breckyn also helps with interior design projects. I bought two lighting fixtures for my business from BMA at Home and get compliments on them nearly every day.”
“Shannon and Isaac (hope I spelt both right!) were the kindest most helpful and fun sales associates we have ever had the pleasure to be helped by! I was in need of a top to match a skirt I’m wearing to a wedding and I felt like I was in a makeover montage as they continued to bring me ideas and help style me! So so soooo kind, found a perfect top too!!! Thank youuu both!!”
“When I go to Hobby lobby I always find good deals, people are nice, the section of Clarence in the store of Athens Georgia is very helpful. The only thing is that I can’t find variety of fabric.”
“Had a great experience buying furniture for our new home. Jeese Leonard was very helpful and took great care of us. He led us exactly to what we needed and gave us a great deal.”
“This is my go to spot when looking to refresh a room. Pillows, bedding, accessories always deliver. Stacie is so helpful and will search high and low for any item I need.”
“In here, you can find anything you really need for you, Ross had great clothes, items and much more you need, I came here like for a long time, it’s the best store for people to buy.”
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.
