Berkeley Mills, a custom furniture shop operating for nearly four decades, is closing due to high costs, low margins, and a recent significant contract cancellation. Company partner Scott Pew noted the challenge in maintaining competitive pricing while paying employees a living wage and managing rent and materials costs. Founded in 1988, the business began on Fourth Street and later moved to a 32,000-square-foot location on Seventh Street. A sale on showroom items is being held until the final closing date.
Berkeley Mills has been impacted by high costs and low margins, which made it hard to be competitive, leading to its closure after nearly four decades.
The cancellation of a six-figure contract and an absence of future prospects served as the final straw for Berkeley Mills, prompting its decision to close.
