At Whitaker Family Furniture, our journey began with a vision far beyond business transactions and profit margins. For us, it was about creating a haven, a place where family—both blood and chosen—could come together to build something meaningful. Our motto, "One Visit Makes You Family," isn't just a tagline; it's a reflection of our genuine commitment to fostering connections and radiating love in our community.
Starting a business wasn't solely a financial endeavor; it was a mission to establish a legacy, give back to our community, and, most importantly, create a space that resonates with love and warmth. Everyone who walks through our doors becomes a part of the Whitaker family, regardless of their last name. We value the opinions and contributions of our chosen family as much as our own because, in our eyes, they are all true members of the Whitaker Family.
Recently, we had the pleasure of inviting our chosen family for a unique experience—an impromptu couple photoshoot right in our store. It was a joyful opportunity for us to come together, share laughter, and be a goofy, loving family together. As we explored the theme of love during the photoshoot, we asked, "What does love mean to you?" The responses echoed our sentiments: Love is a choice, love is family, and love is unconditional.
The idea that love is a choice deeply resonates with us. It's a commitment to support and uplift one another every day, under any circumstance. Love, to us, is family—whether your last name is Whitaker or something else entirely. We envisioned our business as an extension of this love, aiming to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone who crosses our threshold.
During the shoot, we also asked our friends and family, "What makes a house a home?" Unprompted and unscripted, their responses mirrored our beliefs: laughter, love, family, and a safe place to be yourself. Love is safe. Love is family. Love is being yourself. Love is HOME.
Our store is more than just a place to buy furniture; it's a celebration of love, a commitment to family, and a safe haven where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves. Love, for us, is synonymous with HOME. We started this journey almost by chance, but we continued it with purpose.
We invite you to come in, meet us, and experience the love that defines Whitaker Family Furniture. After all, as our motto says, "One Visit Makes You Family."
