Fowler Brothers Co. Is Parent Company to The Furniture Shoppe and The Patio Shop
Celebrating its 126th Anniversary in 2011, Fowler Brothers Co. is one of the oldest, family-owned businesses in Tennessee. Five generations of the Fowler family have played a part in creating their own piece of history in many of the homes in and around Chattanooga. The family remains passionate about furniture and is committed to the same standards of quality and solid business values, as summarized by Carter Fowler, who currently manages The Furniture Shoppe, "The products we offer today are as classic as they were when we started. We try to educate our guests about all the important details to look for in furniture. It's about owning something you can truly enjoy today and pass on to your grand-kids tomorrow. We're not about trends, but it is important to look fresh and new, so we are always bringing in the newest colors and fashions. Our focus is on American-made brands, but our store reflects fine furniture from everywhere."
Although the Fowler Brothers Co. has operated various store fronts over the years, including Fowler's Furniture, Richard Fowler Galleries, Fowler's Southern Home Furnishings and many others, The Furniture Shoppe (which is interiors) and The Patio Shop (which is outdoor furniture) are the only two locations still operated by the original Fowler Brothers Co. family. Carter, son of company president Richard C. Fowler Jr., learned the importance of quality at a young age and is fully convinced that his 4-year old daughter Laney and his 19-month old son Dawson will one day share the same appreciation and become part of the family legacy. "I remember," Carter explains, "that one day when my Dad was asked what type of furniture he like the best, he simply replied, 'Good furniture never changes.' And, although 90 percent of production is off-shore, the truest quality will always be made in the U.S., where pride plays such an important part. I want my customers and my children to understand and see what I see in this furniture."
The Furniture Shoppe showrooms reveal a diverse and extensive celebration of design, from the most elegant traditional pieces you can own to classic examples of shabby chic. You will discover a wide range of styles for every room, including the home office, the home theatre, and the kitchen. You will aspire to create a space as fantastic as the Stickley Gallery, one of the largest and most comprehensive in the nation.
