"Jennifer Jones, Where Would We Be Without Her?"

At Olinde's Furniture we pride ourselves on special order furniture. Some our furniture can be offered in twelve different layouts with an option of eighty seven different fabrics, and we have almost one hundred salespeople who are assisting customers every day. That's a lot of moving parts! Now, who does Olinde's Furniture in Baton Rouge trust to complete these specials orders? Well, where would Olinde's be without Jennifer Jones?

Jennifer Jones has worked at our Airline Highway location in Baton Rouge for over 20 years, and she is the lady who never makes a mistake. I know, I know, I am not supposed to speak in absolutes; however, in Jennifer's case I can. Why? Because in looking at my notes, I have asked Jennifer Jones to make a special order for me well over five hundred times in six years and she has never once made a mistake. Not only is Jennifer perfect with special orders, but she also brings a bright smile and a cheerful attitude to a job that makes my head spin a little when I think about all the minute details that goes into it. 

I think Jennifer's only fault is that she is a Dallas Cowboys fan. So, you know I had to take a little grief from her when the Cowboys beat my beloved New Orleans Saints last night. On a serious note, I do not know where Olinde's Furniture would be without Jennifer Jones' expertise. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you Jennifer for the A+ job you do everyday at Olinde's Furniture!

"Uncle Beau" - or - Joseph B. "Beau" Olinde, Jr.

When I was growing up it used to drive me crazy when my mother would tell me, "you need to act more like your Uncle Beau." Beau's younger brother, my dad, also told me what a good brother Beau was to his three brothers and three sisters. Beau Olinde is the namesake of my grandfather, JB Olinde, and Uncle Beau also has the "big heart" of my grandmother, "Tyke" Olinde.

Instead of going straight into the family business, Uncle Beau went to law school. After practicing law for many years, Beau was asked to work for our family's beverage distributor, the Baton Rouge Beverage Company. Now that I have come into the family business at Olinde's Mattress Superstore and www.olidnes.com, Uncle Beau is also my boss as well, and that is a good thing :)

Uncle Beau helps with the everyday operations of Olinde's Furniture, and handles many of our legalities that come with business. Not to mentioned the endless list of projects that he handles as well. Due to his big heart, I am sure that Uncle Beau never gets tired of my legal questions, or me asking for advice, or my endless obsessing over Houston Astros baseball. I am proud to call Beau Olinde, Uncle Beau, and it is a pleasure getting to work with him at Olinde's Furniture.

When Your Uncle is the Boss :)

Ever since I realized I did not like to see blood and I could not be a doctor like my father, I wanted to work for Olinde's Furniture. Kind of funny, but it was and is my dream job. I like to help people, and our furniture company is all about helping people with their furniture purchase. My uncle, Tom Olinde, is the CEO of our company, and he is someone I look up to in life. He may seem serious on the outside, but he is quite the businessman and a lovable uncle :) 

Tom Olinde does things the right way and his business motto is the Golden Rule - "treat people the way you want to be treated." If I go to buy a lawnmower, then I want the salesperson to treat me with respect and be fair. Therefore, each and every customer that walks through our door deserves respect, fairness and kindness from me and all of our 300 employees. Tom Olinde demands that from himself, and he demands that from his employees.

I want every single person that walks through our doors at Olinde's Furniture and Olinde's Mattress Superstore to feel good about their experience, regardless if they bought or not. As the manager of www.olindes.com, I want to make sure that all visitors to our website enjoy their experience as well. As always, feel free to email me at andrew.olinde@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments or concerns. 

Is There a Sale Going on at Olinde's Furniture

Did you know that the #1 viewed page at www.olindes.com is our promotion page at https://www.olindes.com/adpage.aspx ? Oftentimes, I hear this question from customers, "is there currently a sale going on at Olinde's?" Normally I will smile and reply, "we always have a sale going on at Olinde's." It is true. Olinde's Furniture always has a sale, and we go to great lengths to make sure that our customers are getting the best prices possible. 

This week is Black Friday, and this Black Friday is one of the largest sale holidays of the year! But how did Black Friday begin? Well, some retail genius literally decided about 100 years ago to come up with a Black Friday sale that has turned into a huge sale holiday. How has Black Friday worked so well? Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving where most people are off and most people are with family. Being off and being with family is a perfect combination for shopping. 

At Olinde's Furniture, we love Black Friday because we can give our customers a great deal, but we also love Black Friday because our vendors are helping us help you as well. So, this Black Friday, Olinde's Furniture and Olinde's Mattress Superstore will be open from 7am to 7pm. Stop in and check out the best savings of year! And as always, feel free to email me with any questions, comments, or concerns at andrew.olinde@gmail.com
