YOUNGSTOWN - James and Weaver Ofice Environments will open an office furniture outlet at 350 E. Federal St. downtown early this year, says Denise Powell, president.

"We plan to offer retail sales in closeouts, used and flawed furniture to buy, rent or lease." she says.

Steady growth continued last year and the company added two experienced sales and design staff members, bringing the total number of employees to 11, Powell reports. The company's design showroom got a new look when a remodeling project was completed last year, she adds.

James and Weaver also created a new, easier-to-access Web site and reviewed all manufacturer product lines to ensure continued best pricing and quality in furniture and designs, Powell says.
