In 2015, we’re seeing a rise in the effort to support local small business and we think that’s awesome. Nothing can beat the experience of shopping at the same store your parents shopped at with experienced professionals that offer individualized customer service. The big box is not always best.
This month Popoli Realty Team is pleased to partner with Don Warren, Jr. of Warren’s Decorating Center. When it comes to selling your property, you’ll stand out from the crowd with a house that is in tip-top-shape. If you have recently purchased a home, this company can help you see the possibilities. As Realtors, we know that a fresh coat of paint, new window treatments or flooring can really make a home shine. This is why we love the folks at Warren’s; they are a one-stop home decorating shop! Whether you need to update your walls, floors, window treatments or just to kick up your decorating a notch, they have the experience & service you need. And, they’ll come to you!
We love that Warren’s is a family owned business. Let’s find out more:
Tell us, what’s the history of Warren’s? How did you get started?
My dad started this business over 30 years ago on the corner of 5 Mile Line and Ridge Road in Webster. At the time the building was only 900 square feet. After a few additions there, we moved under Hegedorn’s Grocery store with 15,000 square feet. I bought it 3 years ago with my wife Rachel and two sons Rick and Jack.
What makes Warren’s Decorating Center unique?
There are companies that do paint or flooring or window treatments but we do it all under one roof. We have the people who know what they are doing when it comes to product knowledge and we have our own flooring installers so we know exactly who will be on the job. We service a wide range of accounts such as new home builders, painting contractors, area college’s, nursing homes, hospitals and retail customers. We also have an in-home decorating service. It’s a comfortable low pressure shopping experience.
What are the biggest challenges you face as a small business owner?
I would say that one of them is the perception of local businesses being more expensive. Just because Lowe’s and Home Depot say they do it for less doesn’t mean its true. We offer customized, detailed service at a competitive price.
What are your favorite moments at Warren’s?
My favorite thing is when a young couple comes in and says “my parents told me that Warren’s is “the only place to come for flooring and paint.” Another one is when someone stops by and says that as kids they remember coming in with their parents. We’ve had the good fortune of serving several generations and look forward to serving the generations to come.
