Chicago Closet Company, Closet Works, Reflects on a Successful 20 Years in the Closet Industry

CHICAGO, IL, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
The 1980s marked the height of materialism in America. The hair was as
big, and so were the shoulder pads -- appearances mattered. You were
judged on the car you drove and the house you lived in. Money was spent,
not saved.

Many businesses saw the opportunity to capitalize on consumer demand.
Chicago closet companies became a source of a new boasting point -- an
impressive closet to store those prized material possessions.

In 1987, Mike Carson set up a Chicago custom closets business, Closet
Works. Instead of investing in imported closets, Closet Works initially
offered a small range of Chicago custom closets from a manufacturing
plant in Illinois.

"To think I started the business selling almost nothing but white laminate
closets is amazing. It's amazing because I am standing here today, 20
years later, as President of one of the most reputable Chicago closet
companies that has customers all across the Chicagoland area," reflects
Carson.

As a small Chicago closet business just starting up, Mike Carson knew that
the longevity for his Chicago closet systems business lay not in 1980s
aesthetic bravado but in the practical, time saving benefits that come
only from supreme organization.

"There have been many shifts in the needs and wants of our customers over
the past two decades. While some people still hire us to create that
aesthetic wow factor, most people these days look to Closet Work's
Chicago closet systems to help them save time in their busy lives," says
Carson.

Meeting the needs of their customers, Closet Works grew their range of
Chicago closet systems to incorporate new finishes and styles, and
organizational solutions for all around the home.

"Today, Closet Works is proud to offer an extensive array of solutions to
our customers. We can customize closets in a range of different colors,
wood grains, and veneers at price points to suit any budget. We can also
provide Chicago custom storage systems for any room of the house, whether
it's the pantry, laundry, garage, home office or any other room in need of
organizing," says Carson.

As well as expanding into different areas of the home, the Closet Works
Company has expanded as a business.

"Naturally, as our sales grew, so did our need for staffing and
manufacturing facilities. Today, Closet Works employs 18 full-time
Chicago custom closet designers, 18 full-time closet installers, as well
as numerous staff in our offices and on the shop floor. We also have a
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Elmhurst, IL," states Carson.

Alleviating the stress caused by an unorganized home is what Closet Works
has achieved over the past twenty years. They look forward to an
increasingly successful twenty more.
