Bobby Weaver keeps it all in the family at Weaver Brothers New & Used Furniture.

Wife Pam and son Jeremiah help run the store and one-year-old grandson Remington entertains customers with smiles and baby talk.

The company, located at 161 Garrett Way, provides a friendly atmosphere and low prices, Bobby said.

“We don’t mark anything up very much, so we’re competitive with our prices. I think people will find that our prices are cheaper than any furniture store in town, even on the new stuff too,” Bobby said. “We’re just a real laid back, family friendly environment with good service and prices.”

Weaver Brothers purchases used furniture and occasionally estate furniture. The building’s floor room features new and used furniture like tables and chairs, cabinets, small appliances and some antiques.

“We handle a little bit of everything, I guess,” Bobby said.

Separated from the furniture is the businesses mattress selection. Weaver Brothers sells new mattresses at what Bobby described as “the best prices in town.”

The business may be a family enterprise, but there’s no brother to Bobby in the business. The name comes from Bobby’s father who opened an auto parts store with his brothers, Bobby’s uncles, in the 1960’s under the same name.

Over the years, his father bought out his uncles and Bobby started working at the store. Then, assuming ownership of the store, Bobby ran it and eventually sold it to work elsewhere.

That might have been the end of Weaver Brothers had Bobby not had an independent streak in him.

“I didn’t like working for other people, I prefer being self-employed so I entered the furniture business in 2000,” he said.

Since then, Bobby and his wife have first raised their son and then employed him.

“This is like our home up here. My husband was raised in Weaver Brothers, and my children grew up in a business setting, and now my grandson is here with us a lot,” Pam said. “We eat, cook, and spend most of our time here. This is our home away from home.”

Pam and Bobby said they enjoy working with family, but Jeremiah sometimes is treated more like his boss’s child than his employee.

“It’s OK working with my family. When it’s bad, they treat me like their son but when it’s good they treat me like their employee,” Jeremiah said.
