Franchise Description
Verlo® Mattress Factory Stores is a true Craftsman-Direct® operation, which means: * Most sleep sets are assembled where they are sold; * Customers have the unique experience of working directly with skilled craftspeople to discover their personal preferences and sleep support needs; * Our craftspeople then build the mattress to suit; * None of our competitors can offer such a personalized experience; * Lower distribution costs equal savings for our customers; * They become loyal, repeat customers (and they tell their friends!) Research shows that purchasing a mattress set can be confusing and intimidating. VMFS uses a low-pressure, scripted sales approach of education, problem-solving, and a sincere desire to serve the customer, not high pressure tactics. Our goal is to help our customers choose a bed to best meet their overall needs. The result is customers who trust us for all their bedding needs and send their friends and neighbors, too! Plus, not only are our beds built locally, but the store owner may also live in the community. Verlo® Mattress Factory Stores` customers get more than just the best mattress for their money. * No confusing sales tactics * Knowledgeable sales staff * Free delivery and set-up * 60-Day Comfort Guarantee * The most aggressive product guarantees available
