Grand Opening of Pembroke

On March 29th 2009 we had our grand opening Jazz brunch celebration at our new Penbroke location, featuring other local business, raffle prizes, food and drink, with some live jazz music to wash it all down. Resident in house videographer and master producer, Max Tubman, captured the moment.

Big Happenings in Alewife

Here come some more developments to make you love our Cambridge location even more!



Our Alewife store is located right near the Fresh Pond rotary, a perfect stop over on Route 2 to or from the city. We share our little corner of the universe with some great stores with a loyal Boston following, Cheddar's, D&D and Newbury Comics. Now, with some new developments, we are making some additions to our plaza including a Trader Joe's (a personal favorite) and a more of your favorite shops and conveniences. Check out more about these developments on boston.com. We asked what Cambridge store manager Heather Ryan how this was effecting our daily grind, and she says "Circle Furniture has been thriving is this location for over a decade now. We are excited to see that some new life will be coming to our plaza when the building is finished. There should be ample parking for everyone to come enjoy the great shops. Most importantly there are some awesome new food choices including Trader Joe’s and Chipotle. It's all about the food for us here at Circle!"
Happy eating and shopping!

Still Jazzed about the Regatta Bar

For the second year in a row the Circle Team helped bring the party to opening night at the Regatta Bar Jazz fest. Richie Havens played a killer show and, if I must say so myself, the furnishings of this bar are Top Notch!

The Regatta Bar is located in the Charles Hotel in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge. In addition to their yearly Jazz Fest they have live music about five nights a week! Get cozy in those couches with a nice cocktail and great music. Check out their website for a whole list of upcoming shows and events.

The Before . . .

Lots of hard work went in to make sure our new Pembroke Location opened on time (this past saturday, come in and check it out!) I am not sure the Queen Bee and her team have slept yet, lots to do!


And the AFTER . . .

Its gorgeous!!





The new store is a proud project of ours, remodeling the building, we let in more light and, of course, added some color! This store will provide more space that our smaller Hanover location. Hanover will remain open for the time being as a clearance center, so if you are looking for a bargain there are deals to be had! Stay tuned for news on more events in Pembroke or one of our other locations.

Ray of Light through the Economic Clouds

I am not sure if NPR has made any new radio programs recently or if, due to lack of funds, they are looping a series of repeats on the sad state of affairs that is the US economy. Either way, that, in combination with the shorter days and the holiday rush, left me feeling a little run down and bewildered. Well, Circle Shoppers and fellow proud Bostonians, time to buck up and turn those feelings around. Here is a small glimmer of hope published by Boston Magazine, a little upside of the down if you will. Circle is still here and thriving, helping to perpetuate a stronger localized economy. Hold your heads up high Boston, and keep on shopping, change is on the way.
PS. Just in case you needed a little more encouragement to shop, this month in stores we have our New Year's gift to you of $100 off every 1000 you spend. Whoo hoo!

Rodman Ride 2008 - Not going to let a little rain slow us down!

Congrats to the Circle Team for another year of riding for at risk youth at the Rodman Ride for kids. This year, the 17th annual, was RECORD BREAKING, raising over 5.5 million dollars. Harold, Rich, Peg, Sarah and Kate Springfield teamed up with a couple of other furniture gurus to bike 25, 50 and 100 miles rides! Congrats to all who participated and for those who missed out, there is always next year.

Hey where have you been?

Celebrating!! What a summer of celebration it has been! Congrats to two Tubman's kicking the big C word to the curb so that the family can get back to focusing on the important things, sailing and furniture. A big applause this weekend to Sean D, as he took his first steps to becoming a key organizer for the Ally Regatta in Boston. Despite weather threats, the race went well and the fund raising for the Ally Foundation was a great success. Team Tubman let the Queen Bee aboard Charisma and finished the race with out personal property damage or bodily harm, A.K.A success!

Other things we are proud of this summer: Cindy Hale! Another "c" survivor pedaling her way to the finish of the pan mass challenge. Congrats to her and her husband, all that energy keeps the creativity flowing for OTC.


Whats in store at Circle? TAX FREE WEEKEND, we are gearing up to sell it all with out taking any extra for you know who.
