Dieterich, Ill. (December 19, 2024) It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Wright’s Furniture & Flooring, a fifth-generation family-owned business is encouraging people to shop local this holiday season. According to new data by QuickBooks, 93% of consumers plan to shop local for Christmas in 2024.
“Year after year, it is so wonderful to see the community of Central Illinois come to our stores to shop for their loved ones,” said Alex Wright, Vice President of Wright’s Furniture & Flooring. “For the Wright family, our Christmas traditions have involved a lot of rewarding days helping customers at the store. We want to encourage people to start new traditions with their families and come in and shop small.”
The business recently celebrated its 135th anniversary and John Wright, President of Wright’s Furniture & Flooring said hiring local and being involved in the Central Illinois community has made an impact, but having the community support is what’s kept the business alive. The company is also choosing to give back to its own community this holiday season. When a customer purchases a Wright Sleep Mattress now until Christmas Eve, the local business will donate a mattress to a local organization.
“Shopping local offers so many benefits but for us at Wright’s, it’s truly the heart of what we do,” said John Wright. “When you support local businesses, you’re helping your community thrive and supporting the growth of Central Illinois. We take pride in our roots and are grateful for our customers who want to support us and our communities.”
