We are on Main Street in Alabaster at the Bed and Fouton Gallery here with Mr. Roy Mitchell. Now I know you're probably driven by here a million times, but if you haven't stopped in we're going to tell you why you need to, right Mr. Roy? That's great. Okay, tell us a little bit about the background of your store. Well, we opened in 1995. We opened in the Southbrook Village Shopping Center. Down by Del Toro? Down by Del Toro. Were right next to the Dollar General. Were there for eight years and then I purchased this building from Mr. Ferris who used to have a clothing store here. So you said this was the Ferris clothing store? That's correct. I purchased it in 2003. He had been closed for a few years. So took some cleaning up, but we converted it to the Fouton store. We also do bedding and mattresses and all. So that's how it all kind of started. So you've been on Main Street since 2003? That's correct. Now, I had absolutely no idea what all you offer here, but I walked in and saw all this beautiful home decor. There are Foutons bedding. Tell us what, if a customer hasn't been in before or hasn't been in a while, what are they coming in for? A lot of people are surprised to see that we do carry the home decor. We set the windows out on the front and that brings a lot of people in. But we also carry cabinets. We carry a lot of signage with your Alabama and Auburn. Collegiate stuff sells real well. But Foutons has been our niche and we just finished our back to college season. Okay. Lots of dorm rooms, getting some Foutons, right? And apartments, I'm sure. Apartments and dorms is where a lot of them go. We're starting our 24th year. So you said that you also have, in addition to Foutons, which you told me, by the way, can be super customized, right? That's correct. We offer five different Fouton mattresses, custom covers. So there's hundreds of fabrics you can zip over them. So you can change the looks of them quite a bit. You were listing off all kinds of different Foutons, armless, all this. I had no idea there were so many different options for Foutons. So I think that's really cool and something that people should come in and check out. It's not just your typical Fouton that you'd see in Walmart, right? That's correct. The quality is much better. Absolutely. And you can definitely tell. I can see it. You also have bedding, right? We carry a regular line of bedding from Capital Bedding that's manufactured in Tupelo, Mississippi. And it's the same manufacturer that makes our Fouton mattresses. So we do carry several things all the way up to memory foam. So there is a lot that people should come in and check out here at your bed in Fouton Gallery here on Main Street, right? That's correct. I did enjoy here. I think so too, Mr. Roy. Thank you for letting us come in. Now tell me your hours so people can know. Well, we're Tuesday through Friday, 10 to 6. Saturday, we're 10 to 4. And we're close Sunday and Monday. Alright. Guys, come and check out the bed in Fouton Gallery here on Main Street.
