An unparalleled opportunity for rapid growth is at hand. The current economy has produced hundreds of existing operators that are struggling to find consistent product supplies, competitive pricing, brand recognition, marketing support and overall advanced business direction. More Space Place® has had success in our business model and our size gives us the ability to talk to competitors in every segment of the product categories of their offering. Not only can we provide products in their limited segment, but we’re able to show them margins and lines of products that only a large manufacturer and distributor in our multiple lines can.

One of the key challenges of a Murphy bed retailer is dependence of manufacturing from inconsistent resources. Single stores are often too small for major manufacturers to work with, putting the smaller stores at a huge disadvantage. As a result, finding consistent suppliers can be a serious challenge, but with a large organization, like More Space Place, bigger can mean better, with the ability to more effectively negotiate supplies as well as build and cultivate pivotal business relationships with our suppliers and vendors.

Key Advantages

• A network of like stores – you have access to unlimited wealth of information and feedback from your fellow franchises all going through the same challenges you are, because they are all virtually doing business in the same way.
• Specialized training – initial hands-on training and continuous ongoing support through our support staff, training materials and robust online resources.
• Showroom advantage – very few of our competitors have showrooms, which are crucial in the clients ability to visualize the various product offerings as well as get a real feel for the benefits of the product.
• Comprehensive marketing and advertising programs – including assistance for all types of media such as TV, newspaper, radio and direct mail.
• Continued growth and development of the More Space Place brand nationwide.
