COVID-19 hasn\u2019t stopped Chris Urbine, owner of Mattress by Appointment (MBA) in Fitchburg, MA, in his tracks. In fact, he says there has been an influx of new customers since the Baker-Polito\u2019s reopening plan was released back in May 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have been home a lot more, which makes them realize \u2018I might need a new mattress,\u2019\u201d Urbine states. \u201cThey\u2019ve been banging down our doors [in a good way] to get a new mattress!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mattress by Appointment is a parent company based out of Greensville, SC. Urbine\u2019s brother started a MBA in Florida.\u00a0 He saw how successful his brother was, and opened a location in Fitchburg, MA this past year. Urbine\u2019s drive was to have a successful business that provided opportunities for him to support his family and lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Urbine also mentioned that there hasn\u2019t been a \u201cnew\u201d normal when it comes to \u201cthe new normal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe \u2018new normal\u2019 is what we\u2019ve been doing anyway pre-pandemic,\u201d Urbine said. As the name implies, MBA Fitchburg is open by appointment only. \u201cCustomers always have the whole store to themselves to get that one-on-one experience with us. Mattresses have always been sanitized in between appointments. \u00a0We always planned ahead to have mattresses in the store for customers to take home.\u00a0 Right now, there\u2019s a 6-8 week manufacturing delay, but we order everything ahead of time for customers to take home the same day, so there\u2019s no delay due to COVID-19 manufacturing shortages. The only thing that\u2019s really different is the social distancing and requiring a face covering in the store.\u201d<\/p>\n
Video appointments are also available for customers if they do not feel comfortable going in the store. They are a virtual way to shop for a new mattress, while still obtaining a personalized experience with MBA.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day is a holiday at our store,\u201d Chris Urbine, dealer of MBA Fitchburg, exclaimed. \u201cBeing open by appointment only and having no employees, we are able to keep the lowest possible prices year-round, so that our customers get the best price without having to sacrifice quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Urbine looks forward to expanding a relationship with an existing vendor to add brand new contemporary, cost effective bed sets and adjustable bases. He expects these to roll out at MBA within the next 4 to 6 weeks and is very excited to share this with his customers looking to get a better mattress for themselves.<\/p>\n
