More Space Place, America’s Murphy Bed Store, Picks Austin for Next Phase of National Expansion
More Space Place, one of the most exciting new specialty furniture retailers in America, has chosen Austin for its latest retail location. The Austin Showroom, located by Houston’s Restaurant in West Anderson Plaza, has been designed as a “Premier Showcase” of almost three thousand square feet. In addition it is equipped with the exclusive “Imagination Station” to assist customers in visualizing the perfect design solution. More Space Place offers space-saving modular furniture systems that are available in thousands of variations to fit any customer’s needs.

Products include wall beds (Murphy beds, panel beds, and side beds), custom home offices, entertainment centers, and elegant organizing systems for the closet, pantry and garage. As a regional leader in this market for many years from its Florida base, More Space Place has recently begun a rapid nationwide expansion beyond the Southeast and at least six more locations are planned for the state of Texas in the coming years. With showroom locations as far north as New Hampshire along the Eastern seaboard, a Texas presence was the natural next step for the company in its initiative to take the concept westward. Stores have been open in Dallas and San Antonio for most of 2005 and are already experiencing strong sales growth in those markets.

“From early customer feedback and operating results, it is very clear to us that Texas is ready for the concept,” commented Clark Williams, President and CEO of More Space Place, headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. Austin store owner Joanna McDonald adds: “with the recent dramatic increase in cost per square foot of urban real estate, we see a growing imperative to utilize all available space, and achieve true double-duty from those tiny “swing” rooms or so-called “dens.” At More Space Place, we specialize in tasteful solutions to space problems: custom-crafted, professionally installed furniture that maximizes space use in offices, bedrooms, and closets.”
