Has there been any interests in opening a replacement store here in Clay County, Florida? Possibly Fleming Island?
I'm interested in your furnishings, but I hate to have to travel the Buchman Bridge with furniture from the Mandarin Wood You Store.
Thanks for the info.
=====================================
Ms Barbara,
Thank you for your interest in our company. Yes we have evaluated the Clay County area. We just opened at San Pablo and Beach but before that store was opened we were in negotiations for a spot on 17 but it feel through so we moved here first. I actually live out on Fleming Island and would love to get one closer to home. Until then Mandarin would be the closest for you . . . about 18 minutes non traffic hours - hope to see you soon!
Regards,
Brett Blankenship

New Manufacturing Plant For Custom Builds!
New Wood You Design Center Now Open For Custom Builds For Our Stores!
Just a quick update to our loyal customers. To better serve you and offer the best value in furniture Wood You Furniture has opened a manufacturing plant to build our custom built pieces our customers order. So now not only are we American made but our custom build programs are now local as well. In the near future this program will expand into other areas of our stores. The new design center will assist us in value, faster completion dates on our custom builds and a ability to build anything you could dream up.
We are really excited about this new design center and the new store set to open in February. Are we busy - yea! However, wait till you see what is coming down the pipeline. Thank you all for your support and patronage - we work hard to meet the high expectations the Wood You Furniture brand has stood for 35+ years now.
Wood You Furniture Is Back At The Beach
New Store Owners . . . New Location!
Our Mandarin store's phone has been ringing off the hook since the closing of the Wood You store off Beach Blvd. Well we are pleased to announce that the contracts are signed and the building has begun for our new location at the corner of Beach Blvd. and San Pablo in the Hobby Lobby shopping center.
For clarification this store is not owned, run or even affiliated with the same individuals who had the last store years ago. There will be a fresh feel and focused customer appreciation in every daily interaction we have. For us that has always been our focus, for without you there is no store! Wood You Furniture is not all things to all people . . . we stand for Real Wood - Real Value - Custom Colors. There are hundreds of furniture stores around Jacksonville and thousands in South East Florida but we take pride in striving to be the first that comes to your mind.
There is a reason we do special orders and custom builds from Miami to Atlanta. There is a reason people drive weekly from Orlando and the surrounding counties to come visit us in Jacksonville. There is a reason people stop in daily from St Augustine . . . because you are appreciated and it shows. You mix that with real wood value plus custom colors and it turns into a thriving business that draws people back to us.
Thank you all for your support and keep an eye out for future growth . . . you never know where we will show up. One thing is for sure when we do come we come to gain your business the right way and with the right products - stop in and see for yourself why we are still the branded name in real wood furniture.

Gina - West Palm
I am looking for some Sugar maple stain. I hear Wood you doesn't carry this any longer. I need some of this stain. HELP.
Thanks.
=====================================================
Gina - The store in West Palm should be able to assist. That company (and gentleman) that made our old finishing product retired but the new products from General Finishes mirrors our old products. The new name you might want to look for is Candlelight, that is the new product that will mimic our old Sugar Maple.
If you have any other questions feel free to email me brett@woodyou.com

We just moved from the westside to out here and were talking about the drive to get to your Mandarin store. Very cool to know you'll be our neighbor. Great location - going to end up costing me money!

New Locations In The Works
Wood You Furniture's Brand Recognition Has No Equal In Our Niche!
Even with the tremendous response we have received with our newest store in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville, FL I still receive emails almost every day from loyal customers over our 35 year existance asking us to open a store in their town or area of town. We have not finalized our next location but are getting closer to stepping into phase two of our expansion to better serve you all. There are multiple locations being studied and hopefully in the near future we will be announcing our next store to offer the great styles and real wood that has made you all so loyal.
As for those outside the greater Jacksonville area know there has been a buzz from potential dealers where the voids were left from where our stores were, once the old owners shut them down. Know we are being very selective in both the potential dealers and the areas we want to reenter. We love the idea of getting our great name back into those towns but the potential store owners have to have the same commitment to what makes Wood You such a branded name for over 35 years. Even if that process takes us longer than any of us would like it will pay huge dividends in the future with a group that has a tight knit and dedication to customer service, real wood finished your way, stylish furniture and all at the best value we can offer.
I personally had rather not open one more store other than my own than water down the real wood niche and integrity that Wood You has built and is dedicated to maintain. However if you feel you have the drive and desire to join our company as either a dealer or employee email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we can begin the vetting process

Ms Trish,
I had 3 solutions to offer that would have been even a better option but couldn't get a word in. I am grateful for the 22 years in this industry and 18 years as a store owner and will do my best to serve my communities to the best of my ability. Have a wonderful day - my apologies for the dresser issue.
If you wish to continue a conversation feel free to email me - brett@woodyou.com

I live in Islamorada, the Keys, and miss the Cutler Ridge area store, as do my friends in the Keys.
Any plans to open a store in the Miami area?
I love your products and have been buying from your store for many years. The people in the Cutler Ridge area store were awesome!
=====================================
Ms Sunderland,
That was a great store with dedicated owners. We do have our feelers out with a few interested individuals but nothing concrete at this time. The market is wide open for the right individuals. Thank you for your support over the years - hope we can fill the void sooner rather than later. I always tell anyone if they know of individuals looking for a great business with a branded company to shoot me an email at brett@woodyou.com for more info. It would definitely be a dealer and not a corporately owned location . . . Hope I have good news for you sooner rather than later - have a great week!

Can not find your location ,I live in Deltona Fl, there is a store some where in castleberry fl. Pease send me the address. Thanks
==================================
Response:
Mr Avila,
There are no longer stores in the Orlando market for now. The old owners of this company chose to allow all the company stores to close. We have some interest from potential dealers in that market - as for now come see us up in Jacksonville - same great quality, customer service and a commitment to all real wood! Look forward to earning your business . . .

We have been buying from Wood You for 20 years - I hope your new location gets out my way first :) If not I will continue the drive just to do business with you all. My wife was thrilled with our Alder bedroom set and the custom vanity - I received major bonus points, thanks John for all your help! Keep up the good work Wood You and we'll be back!

I use the internet to compare prices and to save time and money.... I see your beautiful furniture but ... N-O P-R-I-C-I-N-G??? I have to call for each pricing??!! I'm interested in buying a piece of furniture NOT a car or major investment.... I don't have the time or the patience... Goodbye.
==========================================
Ms Nancy,
I appreciate the time you spent on the site. I do understand - there are many that wish to compare pricing from the comfort of their home. You can email, us for pricing and we will respond in a timely manner but I do appreciate your opinion
Quite honestly it is so time consuming to keep up with the changes of inventory and pricing we chose this platform so we could focus our attention on the customers in the store. We are in the process of adjusting our website and will definitely take your concerns into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to feed us your input, it is appreciated!
My utopia would be to have a group that does nothing but maintain the website and keep the inventory and thus pricing clean but at this time it just isn't possible - hopefully in the near future. Have a great week!
Regards,
Brett

If woods are used with nickle and chrome furnishing then room looks so beautiful.

My name is Ginger and I used to work at Wood You Furniture in Johnson City, TN.. It was one of the most fun and fulfilling jobs I have ever had. I truly believe in the product. I now live in Hilton Head Island, SC.. There is nothing here that even compares to Wood You. I would be very interested in a possible business opportunity with owning my own store. Who would I need to contact?

Just wanted to drop a note and thank you for all your help with our custom closet. My wife and I are very pleased with the way it turned out. Glad to see local companies expanding and with the service you guys gave us I'm sure it will be successful!
====================================
Mr Marksburg,
Thanks for taking the time to share - your business is always appreciated. I agree that closet turned out great . . . we will be expanding that concept shortly. If you will tell your friends and family about us, that word of mouth is so valuable to us - see you soon!
