Havertys brings new furniture option to town Friday

Haverty Furniture Companies Inc. will open its newest showroom Friday at 1302 Ga. Highway 85 north in Fayetteville.

This will bring the number of Havertys retail stores in Georgia to 16 and the total in the Atlanta metro area to 12. Prior to the opening of the Fayetteville location, the nearest Havertys showroom was at Southlake.

Havertys was founded in 1885 in Atlanta, and currently operates more than 100 furniture showrooms in 14 states.

Havertys is regarded as the leading home furnishings retailer in the middle to upper middle positions and features name brand makers including Thomasville, Lane, Broyhill, Sealy and Serta. It is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols of HVT and HVT.A.

John E. Slater, president and CEO, said, "We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve the furniture consumer in Fayetteville area with an exciting new showroom. We look forward to providing our current customers and new furniture shoppers with a more satisfying experience. They will find the beautiful items they want for their homes, with friendly, knowledgeable decorating assistance and affordable prices."

The new showroom will celebrate a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday at 9:45 a.m. The showroom features fully accessorized room setting and hundreds of decorating ideas.

During the grand opening sale, shoppers may take advantage of special sale prices at all metro Atlanta Havertys. Plus, they may qualify for 12 months no interest financing. They may also register to win part of $15,000 in furniture that will be given away.

"I am very happy to bring Havertys' century-old tradition of quality furniture and great customer service to our existing and new customers in the Fayetteville area," said Ben Haverty, regional manager of the Atlanta marketing area.

The Fayetteville Havertys furniture showroom is at the site of the former Roberds store.
