Jack
Moehling is the retailer of the stores, while his father
Jack Moehling, Sr. and his brothers Jeffrey and Eric handle
the wholesale side of the business. “We grew up working
in the furniture factories in North Carolina after school
and during the summers,” Moehling says of him and
his brothers. “We have a lot of experience in the
furniture industry.” Over 100 years of combined experience,
to be exact.
Ashley
Furniture Industries, Inc. is the largest selling furniture
brand in America, while Ashley Furniture HomeStores, LTD
(with all stores combined) is also the largest furniture
retailer in the country. “Ashley Furniture is truly
a world class company,” says Jack Moehling, who started
as a sales representative for the company 18 years before
opening his first location in Richmond in 2002.
Jack Moehling and his family, who are members of the BetterBusiness
Bureau, are proud of what their stores offer, as well as
the customer services that they are known for providing.
“We want to have good, fast, capable service,”
says Moehling. “Our furniture is a very good value.
We have great prices and we believe we are the best furniture
company in terms of price, value and customer service. Customer
service is the most important thing to us.”
Even during these hard economic times, the Moehling family
wants to make purchasing furniture a reality for their customers.
“We try to make it easy for the customer to buy,”
Moehling says. “We offer very attractive credit terms
with a zero percent interest
program, a no credit check program, based on income, and
even a military credit program. We also have price points
that meet almost anyone’s budget as well as styles
that also can meet anyone’s design taste.”
The
Moehling family’s stores also sustain the goal of
highest quality furniture delivery. “Our 98% in home
completion rate is simply a measurement of our delivery
teams, meaning 98% of our deliveries are perfect with no
damage to the furniture or the home, and on schedule,”
says Moehling. “We have worked very hard to achieve
this high rate and we are very proud of our delivery teams
for maintaining our high standards.”
Moehling’s
Ashley Furniture HomeStores are known for their humanitarian
efforts (donating to charities and furniture recycling with
Habitat for Humanity), as well as their commitment to the
environment. “We’ve been able to reduce the
amount of trash that goes to local landfills by recycling
our cardboard, plastic and Styrofoam,” says Moehling.
“We used to send 48 tons of waste to the local landfill
but now we only send 12 tons per year. This is better for
the local environment and reduces our costs, which in turn
helps us keep our prices low.”
The local Ashley Furniture HomeStores, “...continuously
strive to be the best furniture store in the Richmond area,”
Moehling says. “I am proud to serve Colonial Heights
and the surrounding areas. We look forward to a long relationship
with the community!”
