Ashley Furniture Outlet now open - Press Republican

Ashley Furniture Outlet now open - Press Republican

PLATTSBURGH — The A

shley Furniture Outlet in the City of Plattsburgh has been well received since it opened in early April.

Manager Sam Pirofsky said the new store, located at 99 Boynton Ave., has worked out really well so far.

“We’re getting a nice cycle of inventory coming in and out,” he said. “We’re getting a lot of traffic, that’s for sure.”

The outlet center has new and scratch-and-dent furnishings on display. Pieces with a blue dot are new, while those with a red dot are sold “as is.”

Customers can take their selection home that day or arrange for home delivery.

“We like to say, ‘See it, touch it, take it home,’” Pirofsky said.

Furniture and accessories are divided by sections in the showroom. The front area features a dinette area on one side and sofas and recliners on the other. There is a section of odds and ends, such as single chairs or individual mirrors tucked around a corner.

The back showroom has mattresses and box springs, end tables, dressers, mirrors, chests and accessories.

The move has allowed for much more warehouse space, he said. One door is even at ground level, so trucks can pull inside to load and unload.

That’s a great advantage during inclement weather, Pirofsky said.

“We want to make sure the furniture gets to the house perfect. We try to take the elements out of it,” he said.

A loading dock provides access to a new series of ramps for loading and unloading. It allows access to the upper level where the upholstery is stored.

One section has been converted to a service bay. Furniture can be brought in, repaired and shipped back out without having to enter the actual warehouse.

Another section is used to store the mattresses and box springs. It also has its own door to the outside.

There is also a preparation room where furniture is assembled.

Pirofsky said the building’s design seems like it was built specifically to meet the needs of a furniture store.

It took about two months to renovate the former Murnane Building Contractors facility. The building is now home to 4,000 square feet of showroom and 10,000 square feet of warehouse and distribution space.

“This is essentially our warehouse and distribution point. It just happens to have an outlet in the middle of it,” Pirofsky said.

The warehouse and distribution center used to be located at Imperial Industrial Park.

“This has been so much more convenient because of where it is in the city,” Pirofsky said. “The proximity to the interstate makes it very easy for pick-ups and deliveries.” 

Both the outlet center and Ashley Furniture Homestore in downtown Plattsburgh are owned by his parents, Howard and Maureen Pirofsky. His father has been in the furniture business for most of his life, first in Troy and later in Plattsburgh. 

He

previously had Affordable Furniture on Route 3 just east of Plattsburgh Plaza. That business moved downtown in 1994 when the present location of the Ashley Homestore became available.

“We were approached by Ashley Furniture in 2005 and asked to convert Affordable Furniture to an Ashley Furniture Homestore,” Pirofsky said.

That business opened in 2006.

The Outlet Center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted.

Pirofsky said 12-month interest-free financing is available.

He said a lot of people have been stopping in just to see what’s available. A lot of the items are th

e only one they have, so it might not be there if a customer doesn’t buy it when it is there.

“We are getting 50-60 people in here on some Saturdays,” Pirofsky said. “It’s tough to keep the place full.”
