According to Pastor Jessie Webb, he and his nephew, Ronnie Webb, were raised together, following the death of Pastor Webb’s father at an early age.

Ronnie Webb’s father, who was Pastor Webb’s older brother, became a father figure to the young Jessie, and he and Ronnie formed a bond early on, more along the lines of brothers, instead of uncle and nephew.

That bond is what ultimately lead to their decision to go into business as partners, to open New Discount Furniture at 400 Lake St. in Fulton.

The building had previously been utilized by Pastor Webb’s church family, Brooks Chapel, which is now located on Forestdale in South Fulton.

Ronnie Webb operates a similar furniture store in Hollow Rock, Tenn., so his connections in the industry, as well as the intuitive eye for decorating that Pastor Webb’s wife Cynthia possesses, made for a good combination of skill sets between the three.

Those who visit the store will note that while the business name includes “Discount”, the merchandise is top quality, with recognizable brands such s Ashley, Catnapper, and Broyhill. Living room furnishings, dining room sets, bedroom suites and appliances, as well as area rugs and lamps are on display, with more items currently in storage awaiting space in the show room.

A 90 Day Payment Option and financing is available, with basic qualifications to include employment and a checking account, according to Pastor Webb.

The hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The telephone number is 270-208-1022.
