Sault Couple Expands Legacy in Furniture Business
Storey Home Furniture, a beloved establishment in Sault Ste. Marie, has been a key player in the local furniture industry for decades. Under the ownership of Marnie Kelly and Sam Cuglietta since 2017, the business continues to thrive, building upon a rich legacy that dates back to the 1940s.
Sault Couple Expands Their Legacy in the Furniture Business
Their journey began when Kelly joined Storey Home Furniture in 2002, driven by her passion for design. Cuglietta brings 35 years of experience in the furniture industry to the business. The couple first met while working in the furniture sector, and their shared passion eventually led them to take over the store from its previous owner, Dennis Nystedt, who mentored them for 22 years.
Commitment to Quality and Service
Storey Home Furniture prioritizes exceptional customer service and quality products. Cuglietta emphasizes that their delivery team not only delivers furniture but also ensures proper setup, treating customers’ homes with respect. This personal touch sets them apart from competitors.
- Over 90% of upholstery is sourced from Canada.
- Dining room, bedroom furniture, and mattresses are also locally made.
- Delivery extends beyond Sault Ste. Marie to areas like Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
Growth and Expansion
The business is currently expanding its presence, adding an additional 1,500 square feet to their North Street location, which will allow them to introduce more products. This growth reflects the store’s success and its commitment to serving the community.
Award-Winning Service
In September 2022, Storey Home Furniture was awarded “Best Home Furniture Store in Canada” during Home Hardware’s Homecoming event in Toronto. This recognition highlights the couple’s dedication to not only selling furniture but also to creating long-lasting relationships with their customers.
Building Community Connections
For Kelly and Cuglietta, selling furniture goes beyond transactions. They focus on understanding how their products can enhance customers’ lives. They often ask about the spaces customers are furnishing, aiming to find perfect matches for different lifestyles.
As members of a close-knit community, they cherish the friendships formed through their business interactions. Cuglietta notes that the small-town atmosphere makes their connections meaningful and enjoyable.
