• The geographic location of this business and it's Target-Market Areas are protected by a physical "Competitive Moat" (the market area of approximately 8,000 square miles is surrounded by Southern Colorado's "fourteener's" mountain ranges). This "Moat" (and a "we-match-their-prices-everytime" policy) thoroughly discourages outlying Big-City/Big-Box Mattress & Furniture chains from competing for sales while simultaneously motivating a local customer-base to shop locally (four-hour round trip to nearest large metro-area requires driving over mountain passes). As a result, maintaining a proper amount of inventory ($200,000 is recommended) enables immediate sales and rapid delivery follow-up.
