Furniture & Floors North marks 20th

    HOULTON — Offering a variety of quality products at affordable prices, combined with a knowledgeable and experienced sales/service staff, has been the secret for success at Furniture & Floors North. This year Linda and Joe Fitzpatrick and family are celebrating 20 years in business in the Shiretown, one year at their spacious new showroom off U.S. Route 1 at 45 Access Road.
    “It’s our first anniversary at our new location and customers say our store still has the ‘new’ smell,” said Kelley Fitzpatrick, general manager and Joe and Linda’s daughter.
    Furniture & Floors North sells and services a wide assortment of products that will make your home or business look like a showroom and feel comfortable and cozy, day in and day out. They offer flooring — vinyl, carpet, hardwood, laminate and ceramic tile — and have the know-how to install it properly for long lasting wear. In the furniture line, there are dining sets, recliners, gliders, sofas and sofa sets, bedroom furniture, home office pieces, entertainment centers, curios and clocks.
    Furniture & Floors North is the largest authorized Serta dealer in the county.
    Over the years, the Fitzpatricks have worked with a growing and loyal customer base that has made doing business a pleasure. “Word of mouth is a powerful advertising tool. We want our customers to be happy and satisfied so they will shop with us again … and bring their family and friends,” said Kelley.
    “We encourage folks to shop their local businesses before venturing north or south,” she added.
    Earlier this year, the Greater Houlton Chamber of Commerce honored Furniture & Floors North with the 2008 Business of the Year award.
    In addition to the Fitzpatricks, sales manager Joan McAtee brings 20 years’ experience to Furniture & Floors North and Garth Bean rounds out the small but dedicated staff. The business has a recommended list of professionals they work with to make sure the products they sell are installed and set up properly to deliver years of worry-free enjoyment.
    “Visit us today … you just might find something you can't live without,” said Kelley.
