After more than 25 years in the furniture business, longtime local manager Tim Collins has officially retired from Wright’s Furniture and Flooring. Collins wrapped up nearly seven years with the family-owned company this past April.

Collins joined Wright’s in 2019 following the company’s acquisition of Jensen Home Furnishings, where he had worked for many years. Wright’s Furniture and Flooring President John Wright said Collins was instrumental during the transition and called him a tremendous asset to the company.

As a Taylorville High School graduate from the class of 1979, Collins began his career at My Store in Taylorville before also working at Summer’s Menswear and Jensen Home Furnishings. Former Jensen owner Jerry Jensen described Collins as pleasant to work with and appreciated his years of dedication.

Collins thanked coworkers, friends, and community members for making his career meaningful, saying the relationships and memories shared over the years meant the most to him.

Collins retires while Wright’s Furniture and Flooring celebrates its 137th anniversary as a fifth-generation family-owned business serving communities across the region.
