The Candlewood Company sets sites on Richmonds upscale housing market

New retailer based in Richmond, Virginia. The Candlewood Company is a retailer of unique and upscale kitchen cabinets and kitchen cabinet accessories.

Richmond, VA- May 27, 2002- The Candlewood Company is betting that the Greater Richmond areas growing affection for higher priced homes will translate into big business for this innovative retail store. The company opened its doors for business six months ago and has been going full steam ever since. The company caters to homeowners wanting upscale products for their kitchens and homes. The company specializes in European and gourmet kitchen accessories for high-end homes.

In a market place dominated by Home Depot and Lowes, why does this company think it can make it. Thats simple” says Heather Martin the companys owner, first because we offer products that you only see in magazines like Architectural Digest. Second is our service. We only offer, one on one service. We may not be able to help as many customers as other retailers do in a single day but at least we know our customers receive truly personal attention. We even make house calls for customers that are to busy to get out to the store” The company also has a web site for customers that want to look at their products or shop on line. Our site has been averaging about 10,000 visits a month” adds Martin.

The companys offerings include kitchen accessories, cabinet organizers, cabinet hardware and five decorative hardware lines that run the gamut of styles and designs. The companys has its own name branded line of gourmet cabinet accessories and organizers. The company also offers custom kitchen cabinets and custom furniture made from solid surface materials like Corian. We just had did a design for one customer that included a solid surface bookcase and matching coffee table” said Heather Martin. The company has over 5000 different products available to its customers. The Candlewood Company acts as a manufacture distributor for most of the product lines that it carries, making them a competitive alternative to large home centers in the area. We feel that many consumers are just plain fed up with long lines and the poor customer service, that seems to be commonplace with large retailers today. We offer a refreshing and very personal atmosphere that is truly customer oriented. We will come to the customers home if that is what is convenient for them.”
