With its distinctive red, white and blue logo, Mattress Works an independent bedding company has signed a lease agreement with Wal-Mart to establish bedding shops in the vestibule space of Wal-Mart Super Centers.
The first three independently operated sleep shops have opened in South Carolina-based Wal-Mart Super Centers in North Myrtle Beach, North Charleston and Travelers Rest.
"Each Mattress Works location will be located in a Wal-Mart Super Center, and each will be managed by a local Operating Partner an established bedding retailer who knows the local market, is seasoned in the bedding business and operates the store as an independent retailer," said David Karr, CEO of Mattress Works.
"Mattress Works sleep shops offer a 'full service mattress shopping experience' with knowledgeable sleep consultants available to assist the customer through the purchasing process," according to Karr.
"Today's mattress buyers demand value-priced products to fit their budget, layaway and financing, home delivery, removal of their old mattress and set-up of their new purchase," Karr stated. "Mattress Works delivers this entire spectrum of top-quality service."
Mattress Works locations occupy 450-1150 square-foot footprints at the front of Wal-Mart Super Center stores. "Our goal is to provide Wal-Mart shoppers with the 'value experience' that they have come to expect," Karr emphasized.
"With store roll-outs now underway, Mattress Works is actively seeking key retail Operating Partners to operate their own Mattress Works location in all markets served by Wal-Mart Super Centers," stated Edwin Shoffner, COO of Mattress Works.
"I am very excited to be a part of Mattress Works. My sales volume is going as expected, and the daily traffic through my store is unbelievable. Even though we are very early in the game, I am already making plans to accelerate the growth of this business," commented Chad Hill, North Myrtle Beach (SC) Operating Partner.
