Wright’s Furniture & Flooring with locations in Dietrich Effingham, Robinson, and Taylorville, is celebrating an extraordinary milestone this year: 135 years of family ownership. With less than 3% of family businesses surviving to the fifth generation, the Wright family’s success is a testament to resilience and community support.
As Small Business Saturday approaches on November 30, the Wright family reflects on the importance of local support. President John Wright attributes the business’s longevity to their deep community ties and loyal customers. “Our customers see us at local events and in their neighborhoods, which creates a sense of connection and belonging,” Wright said.
Vice President Alex Wright emphasized the broader impact of shopping locally. “When you shop local, you’re investing in your community’s growth and vitality,” he noted.
With locations in Dieterich, Robinson, and Taylorville, Wright’s Furniture & Flooring offers a wide range of furniture, flooring, and design services. The family’s dedication to quality and customer relationships has solidified their role as a cornerstone of Central Illinois life.
Small Business Saturday serves as a reminder to support businesses like Wright’s year-round, ensuring the continued success of community-driven enterprises.
