After closing due to the coronavirus outbreak in early March, Wright's Furniture in Taylorville re-opened for business Monday, and owner Tom Wright can't be happier.

Wright said after extensive consideration, they decided that they were an essential business.

After doing a further digdown, Wright and his family figured out how they could re-open the Taylorville store.

The staff at the Taylorville Wright's Furniture is happy to be back to work.

Wright says the Taylorville community has supported them since taking ownership of the store last fall, after purchasing it from long-time businessman Jerry Jensen.

The Wright Family also re-opened their other stores in Dieterich and Robinson.
