May is National Small Business Month, and Wright’s Furniture & Flooring is using this time to celebrate their history in Central Illinois.  John Wright, President of the company, says they are proud of how far they have come and adds this is thanks to the community’s support.

Wright’s Furniture & Flooring has served the community for 136 years.  The company cites research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics which shows that 65% of small businesses fail within ten years.  Alex Wright, company Vice President, encourages consumers to shop at local business whenever possible.  Wright adds this benefits not only the business itself but also the community as a whole. 

Wright’s Furniture & Flooring has locations in Taylorville, Effingham, Dieterich, and Robinson.
