Forestville, Md. - Marlo Furniture, located in Forestville, Md., unveiled a new face earlier this year, and customers couldn’t be happier.
“Shopping has always been fun at Marlo,” said Susan Outchault, a Marlo customer for over 20 years,” but now it’s so much easier! The minute you walk in the door, you know exactly where to go,” she said.
It was less than a year ago that Marlo Furniture remodeled its store and introduced a new way to buy furniture. Now, when customers enter the store, they have eight options from which to choose: Designer Avenue, Traditional Living, Relax and Recline, Mattress Express, Leather Studio, New Directions, and Modern Collections, and Kids Kingdom.
“We recognize that our customers are busy and that their time is precious. We’re pleased to make furniture buying easier and more exciting for our customers,” said Neal Glickfield, president, Marlo Furniture.
“The new look is fresh, airy and quite striking,” said Pam Mosko, another satisfied Marlo customer. “Not only is the new layout beautiful to the eye, it’s also much easier to maneuver,” she said.
New merchandise has also been added to appeal to a broader client base, says Mark Stuart, Vice President, Merchandising, Marlo Furniture. “There’s something for everyone. We’ve included a variety of new designers to enhance the existing product line, including a new line soon to be released by Christina Saralegui of The Christina Show on Univision.” TIME magazine voted Christina as one of the most influential Hispanics in America. “It’s exciting when you can bring on a big name like Christina. Her new line of furniture is sure to attract a lot of attention,” Stuart added.
Marlo Furniture has a strong presence in the D.C. market. Stores are located in Forestville, Laurel, Rockville and Alexandria, but it’s the Forestville location that was chosen to be the first store remodeled.
“Our Forestville store is our Grande Dame, said Glickfield. “It’s the first showroom we opened, so it’s very special to us. We’re committed to Prince George’s County and we have so many customers to thank,” he said.
Councilman Samuel H. Dean of the 6th District in Prince George’s County participated in the grand opening and loves what Marlo has done. According to Dean, the service that Marlo provides is extremely beneficial to the citizens of Prince George’s County. “I take my hat off to Lou Glickfield for investing in Prince George’s County,” he said.
Due to the overwhelming response to the remodeling of the Forestville store, Marlo has committed to changing the face of all of its stores. Renovations in the Alexandria store will soon be completed, and renovations in the Rockville and Laurel stores will soon begin. A new store is expected to open in Chantilly, Va., and a new distribution and clearance warehouse will be located in Bowie, Md.
According to Glickfield, Marlo is committed to improving the customer experience and this is just the beginning. Remodeling existing stores, creating new stores, incorporating new furniture lines, and building a new distribution and clearance center are already taking place. The future of Marlo Furniture is here and now.
