How a Furniture Store Supports their Local Community and Local Entrepreneurs
May 16, 2025
On this week’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Ehab Awad, Chief Operating Officer for Best Furniture Outlet in Lansing, an SBAM Elite Member. The large family-owned store is described as one of the biggest furniture stores in Michigan. He says Best Furniture Outlet differentiates itself by believing the community is the core of business and focuses on giving back beyond discounts. “On May 17 we’re bringing in a car show with over 70 vehicles in collaboration with Capital City Muscle,” he says. “And the best part of all we do support local businesses as well. So we’re going to have 35 local vendors, new LLC’s, new entrepreneurs.”
