Steve & Madelines


What can happen when your office is walking distance from Empiric? You may wake up one day to find the majority of your furnishings came from the same store. We are lucky to have loyal clients (who have become our friends) like Steve and Madeline and think their apartment turned out great. If you want to get first pick of new merchandise at our store......get in line behind Steve who comes in twice a day to check for the new stuff.

Thanks for your business over the years Steve & Madeline. Lets wear out that nice bar cart in the corner! See ya tomorrow.
