It is not hard to see why Pettus Office Supplies/Pettus Interiors in Little Rock is an institution beloved by customers and employees alike.
Established in 1989 by Amanda and Lynn Pettus, the company begins each day with a goal to create a family-run business that offers quality products, exceptional value and remarkable customer service.
Thirty-five years later, that strategy seems to be working. The company has grown into the largest independent office supply dealer in Arkansas and provides professional sales and furniture design teams that offer custom-tailored furniture sets for the office that are functional yet aesthetically pleasing.
“We believe that a well-designed office environment can enhance productivity, inspire creativity and create a positive work culture,” said Ashley Vaden, a project manager in the Pettus distribution center in southwest Little Rock.
The company maintains the core principles on which it was founded. The one at the top of the list says once customers buy from Pettus, they will never have to try another office supply company.
Pettus’ membership in the TriMega office products purchasing network helps enable the company to meet its own high standards. TriMega membership affords Pettus more than $10 billion in buying power, allowing it to source bargains directly from major manufacturers and suppliers and serve all sizes of businesses.
Vaden lauded the company’s ability to provide great service at competitive prices and noted its appeal as a place to work.
“It’s family-oriented,” she said. “Mr. Pettus comes in every day to see us. His wife is in accounting, and he has a nephew working here. His son, Josh, is involved too.”
Since its inception, Pettus Office Products has strived for excellent customer service. It’s done that, Vaden said, while becoming one of the largest office furniture dealers in the South. In addition to its Little Rock base, Pettus has two north Louisiana locations in Bossier City and Monroe.
“We have a lot of company outings,” Vaden said. “We’ll have picnics, and we’ll go to [Arkansas] Travelers baseball games. It’s a great place to be. Everyone is treated just like family.”
Among the Pettus office furniture options are desks, chairs, filing cabinets, storage solutions, conference table and more, including design services and recycling and disposal services for old or unwanted furniture.
“We understand the importance of creating an office environment that is comfortable, productive and reflective of a company’s brand and culture,” Vaden said. “We take pride in our commitment to exceptional customer service, and we believe in providing personalized solutions that are tailored to clients’ specific needs. Whether they need help designing an office space, selecting the perfect furniture pieces, or arranging delivery and installation, our team is always available to offer guidance and support.”
