CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Your home is your haven, a reflection of your life and the place where memories are made. Downtown Furniture Co. is committed to helping every customer express their own unique style and decorate the home of their dreams for the best value.
Downtown Furniture Co. is celebrating 12 years of serving Southern Utah, and owner Josh Leishman said he takes pride in being known as the place where locals shop.
Leishman started his career 21 years ago at a furniture store in St. George. He then spent a few years working for a high-end dealer before realizing he preferred the atmosphere of a small business. He returned to the shop in 2003, eventually becoming a part owner.
He sold his half of the business in 2007 and invested in the historic Big Arch Building on St. George Boulevard. Built in 1960, the structure is best known for housing the popular Big Dome Roller Rink on the upper floor for decades.
“The old-timers here truly know it,” Leishman said. “It’s a landmark that people recognize.”
It’s not just the nostalgic value of their location that gives Downtown Furniture Co. its small-town charm, however. Leishman went to school with three of his team members, and together they have built a business on exceptional service and personal accountability. He said customers ask for and recognize employees by name even if they haven’t been in the store for a few years.
Leishman calls Downtown Furniture Co. “the biggest little furniture store in Southern Utah.” Between the St. George shop and the Cedar City location that opened in October 2010, they offer an extensive selection of living room, bedroom and dining room furnishings along with mattresses, office furniture, kids’ furniture and accent pieces.
Whether customers are looking to furnish an entire room or just add something new for visual flair, Downtown Furniture Co. has something to suit every space, every taste and every budget. They carry products from the Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Company, Sherwood Bedding, Coaster, Furniture of America, Best Home Furnishings and Comfort Industries, among others. Many pieces are manufactured in the United States.
“One thing that we do a lot better than anyone else is motion, whether it’s reclining sectionals or recliners,” he said. “For the money and the value, we beat everybody else.”
While many larger retailers offer an extensive selection of transitional and modern furniture and fill their showrooms with the latest releases, Leishman said he focuses less on trends and more on value. This winning combination of style, quality and price is what differentiates Downtown Furniture Co. from any competing store.
“We just keep the furniture that people want,” he said. “We have a great selection of everyday furniture.”
Leishman said he is proud to be able to sell furniture with the lowest markup in the industry due to minimal overhead. He owns all of the company’s delivery trucks and every piece of furniture inside the St. George store, along with the building. Downtown Furniture Co. delivers locally for free and offers complimentary same-day or next-day delivery of any purchase over $500 between St. George and Cedar City.
Downtown Furniture Co. welcomes customers with a relaxed atmosphere, Leishman said. Rather than being followed around by a pushy salesperson, they are invited to browse the showroom at their own pace and ask questions if they see a piece that captures their interest.
“It definitely feels like a mom-and-pop store,” he said. “We’re big enough that we can have great quality and great value, yet you still feel like you’re being treated like family.”
