Bennett’sHOME FURNISHINGS held their opening party on October 13th, which was attended by employees, suppliers, clients, neighbours, city councillors, Mayor David Ryan and others. Bennett’s has been a respected home furnishings retailer in Southern Ontario for close to 80 years. In the past 10 years they have grown from one store in the small town of Campbellford, north of Cobourg, to three stores, having added a large store in Peterborough, and now this impressive 27,000-square foot location at 1099 Kingston Rd in Pickering. Bennett’s new Pickering location features a beautiful mix of colours and ideas with styles ranging from traditional to contemporary. Company President Eric Bennett, who is the third generation Bennett to run the family business, has been delighted with the welcome he has received in Pickering. “We were already well known in the Durham area so lots of our former clients are visiting this new store, and new clients are coming every day to discover the unique style and service which Bennett’s is famous for. Our neighbours, the Board of Trade, City Hall... everyone has been so welcoming and accommodating, bringing us into the community right away” The furniture retailer, which was established by Eric’s grandfather, has a tradition of employees staying with the company for a long period of time. There are many employees who have been with the company for 20 years and more, and even one who has been with Bennett’s since 1967. Eric has great faith that the Pickering’s 14 employees will fi nd the same kind of home at the new location. Another long-standing tradition of Bennett’s is their commitment to the community. Bennett’s works with local hospitals and donates the money for each Simmons Beautyrest sold. Visit Bennett’s in Pickering on Kingston Road or online at www.bennetts.ca.
