Name: Murmaid Mattress
Owner: Roger Pickett
New location: A new flagship showroom is in the works on Lee Highway near its intersection with Highway 153.
Opening date: Depending on construction, Pickett hopes to open the new showroom by the first of the year. He said the location is central to the Chattanooga market – exactly the spot he would pinpoint as ideal for a storefront to showcase the manufacturer and retailer’s newest products. “This will be our new flagship showroom,” said Pickett. “Any time there is new model changes, we will be able to immediately put it on the floor.”
Back to the beginning: Murmaid Mattress’ first store opened on Lee Highway in 1979, two miles away from where the new showroom will open.
