It starts with having only the best and most practical furniture and appliances that have defined its stores as one-stop shops for just about everything a family needs to furnish their homes. However, more than that, it has created a brand of customer service that for over 100 years had spawned a large following in the states of Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina where it. How has 51 sprawling stores? And thanks to Marc A. Schewel serving as the 4th generation President and CEO, the family owned full service furnishing store has made it even easier to own any of the furniture and appliance brands it carries.
A short visit to its superb online store at www.schewels.com reveals not just its complete furnishing items, attractive deals and bargains, but also features that make it even more appealing to shop at the site.

At a time when the economy has yet to peak up from the 2008-2009 recession, this is most welcome to the many consumers recovering from their cash flow setbacks.
But this not new for a company that has always shown its dedication to customer satisfaction, from the time your order your stuff all the way to get it delivered to your home. It has a fleet of more than 1,000 delivery trucks specially retrofitted to carry big ticket furniture and appliance, so they arrive at your doorstep as you saw them.

Since graduating from college in 1969, Marc A. Schewel has been groomed to take over his father Bert in managing the company along and is now its President and CEO, with his brother Elliot and sister Donna in the management team tasked to bring the century-old business to 21st century relevance. It was during his father’s stewardship when the company’s expansion across the three states started, opening 20 retail outlets by 1986. But after Marc assumed the helm, the Schewel Furniture Company has now more than doubled its presence, reaching 47 stores by the turn of the 21st century with more than $120 million in annual sales revenues. It has weathered the depression of the 20s, two world wars, the oil crises of the 70s and the recent recession and yet has been growing despite all of these. No doubt the company can see another 100 years of growth despite the weak markets.
