- By Peter Mounteer, Pacific Grove Chamber

Pacific Grove’s premier furniture store, Mum’s Place, is among the town’s oldest and most establishe­d retailers, opening its doors in 1986. Owners Mugo and Talin Tersakyan have spent the past 35 years perfecting their business. Utilizing their meticulous attention to detail, the Mum’s Place team have maintained a dominant position in the retail world of Pacific Grove.

Visitors taking a quick peek inside of Mum’s Place might be surprised by the expansive footprint the store has to offer and be compelled to take a deeper look inside. The current storefront is an impressive 10,000 square foot showroom, allowing Mum’s to showcase a wide variety of items. Mum’s Place is the home to an extensive inventory, exemplary customer service, and the most up to date furnishing­s, with a focus on finding where stylish meets sensible. On their showroom floor you will find clean lines, a beautiful blend of modern and traditiona­l, neutral colors meant to match any home, and all for a competitiv­e price. Mugo and Talin prioritize their customers’ needs, being mindful of the smaller footprint of many traditiona­l homes in the surroundin­g areas. The team works hard to cultivate pieces that are space efficient, with over 95% of the store’s inventory being customizab­le with regards to size, finish, or fabric. It’s a combinatio­n of these factors that keep Mum’s Place customers loyal over their many years in business.

Customers who come in looking for the biggest and best manufactur­ers in the furniture business will find their wishes granted at Mum’s Place. Carrying more than 45 brands, including Stressless, Flexsteel, American Leather, Lee, and Rowe, customers can rest assured Mum’s team can assist them in finding exactly what they desire. To make the process even easier, Mum’s Place also offers free in-home consultati­ons for furniture placement and selection. All of this is made possible with the support of a long-term dedicated staff, ranging in expertise from administra­tive services, profession­al delivery team, and an in-house designer. Mugo and his staff are highly committed to customer service. To ensure they always keep up with the most current industry trends, Mugo and Talin frequently attend trade shows and are extremely receptive to their customer’s feedback. “I don’t have an office in the back,” says Mugo, “I like being out on the floor, I’m on the floor six days a week.” Mugo knows the value of being a business owner who gets to see and hear his customers’ needs firsthand.

With so much care and thought poured into their business, it’s no wonder they have achieved 12

“Best Furniture Store” awards from the Monterey County Weekly. As well as earning recognitio­ns from the Monterey Herald, Carmel Pine Cone, California State Senate and the City of Pacific Grove.

Offering an abundance of expertise, history, and excellence in all that they do, Mum’s Place has rightfully proven their role as the most versatile and distinguis­hed furniture business in Pacific Grove.
