“We sold their products through The Furniture Gallery and saw how much Perth loved the Ashley range.”
Their 1000sqm Midland store, which includes a range of furniture designs and accompanying homeware, has been operating for more than a month.
“An opportunity presented itself to open here at the brand new Midland Megaplex,” Chrissy said.
The sisters plan to create more Ashley Furniture Homestores across Perth and are working on an online sales offering. “We currently employ five sales associates, including the store manager,” Sophie said.
“All undergo a vigorous specially designed training course to deliver the best customer service experience in the industry.”
