Leonard’s Oak World is a family run
and owned business. Dad and Mom Leonard started the business in the
sixties and are both semi-retired now. Since then there have been many
changes, including location and management. The one thing that has not
changed is the same motto, “Reasonably Priced Quality Merchandise and
Excellent Customer Service”.
Two Leonard “kids” are involved in
the daily running of the business, and we all wear many hats and do
various jobs.
Doug, our only brother, is a whiz
at woodworking and furniture repairs. He is also the contact and buyer
of all our Amish made furniture. He makes several trips a month to
Amish Country and brings back a lot of beautiful furniture.
Susie, the youngest sister, does
the majority of the furniture and giftware buying, pricing and
dispatches all the trucks for furniture delivery and pick-ups.
She also buys and maintains our large Yankee Candle
inventory and is in charge of this catalog.
Dee, Doug’s wife, takes care of our
computer system and is back-up bookkeeper when Mom is in Florida. She
is also the buyer of our beautiful Heritage Lace and takes care of our
direct mailing, and all advertising.
Jeff, Susie’s husband, is in charge
of the warehouses and both he (and Doug) are the “Jack-Of-All-Trades”
in the business. Jeff also picks up our Ohio Oak Furniture and keeps
our delivery vehicles in top shape. He also makes sure the furniture
in the warehouse is ready to be delivered.
Our delivery men are the “Best in
Town”! They personally take pride in bringing your furniture to you in
a very careful way. They are both extremely friendly and are well
liked by our customers.
Our salesgirls are not only
friendly, but very knowledgeable about our products. They are very
interested in helping you with your buying needs, and will go our of
their way to accommodate you.
As we said, since we are a family
run business, we all wear many hats and do various jobs. No job is too
small or large for us to try and take care of. Don’t be surprised to
see girls loading furniture and the guys helping with the customers.
In making sure that our store is
not only well stocked, clean and friendly, we strive to make your
shopping experience pleasurable. We always have a free cup of coffee
for you. Stop in and browse!!
God Bless,
The Leonard Family
