Taylorville, Ill. (May 26, 2026) Wright’s Furniture Manager Tim Collins officially retired this past April after nearly seven years of hard work and dedication with the family-owned company.
With over 25 years of experience in the furniture business, Collins brought his expertise to Wright’s Furniture in 2019. He had previously worked with Jensen Home Furnishings before Wright’s acquired the company, making him an important part of the transition.
“Tim was instrumental in the transition from Jensen’s to Wright’s in 2019,” Wright’s Furniture & Flooring President John Wright said. “He was a great asset to us during his time with Wright’s. We wish him the best in his retirement.”
A life-long member of the community, Collins graduated from Taylorville High School in 1979. He began his career at My Store in Taylorville, then spent much of his career at Jensen Home Furnishings and Summer’s Menswear before his time with Wright’s.
“Tim was with Jensen’s for many years and we always enjoyed his participation,” former owner of Jensen Home Furnishings Jerry Jensen said. “He was always pleasant to work with.”
Collins gave thanks to his coworkers, friends and community members who made his career long and fulfilling.
“More than anything, this journey has been about the wonderful relationships and memories shared with so many incredible people,” Collins said.
