| Chavers-Brock Furniture was founded in 1924 by partners Chavers and Fowhand. With great success, their business grew to be a six-store chain. The business headquarters was centered in the Panama City store located on Highway #77, north of downtown. As the partners prepared for retirement, they offered the business to the store managers. At this time, Cecil Brock purchased Mr. Fowhand’s half of the Chipley branch. Mr. Brock started work with the firm in 1939. The store maintained the same location in downtown Chipley until September of 1993, when they moved to the new facility on Jackson Avenue. In the early eighties Chavers-Brock acquired Porter’s Furniture Emporium, (formerly Owens Furniture) a prominent business on Railroad Avenue. They liquidated the stock and the doors of the business were closed for good. In 1983, Chipley was saddened to see the closing of Gibson’s True Value Hardware, a long standing business at the heart of downtown. With this event, Chavers-Brock became the local Western Union Agent, carrying on a tradition of providing a great community service to the surrounding area. At this time Chavers-Brock expanded the appliance line to include the Hotpoint and General Electric Dealerships for the area. Upon completion of the new building, Chavers-Brock moved location in October of 1993. The new Jackson Avenue location has provided a much larger showroom and additional customer parking. It has also provided plenty of space for any future additions of lines and services. The new location has incorporated a gift shop which features a bridal registry, accessories for the home and gifts for all occasions. The gift shop’s personalized service offers the community a much needed convenience. Gift wrapping and delivery are a part of the services provided. Chavers-Brock has always stressed quality home furnishings at reasonable prices. We thank the community for its support and encouragement and look forward to continued growth and service in the future. |
