Support Local Business = Supporting your Local Economy

There is a lot of talk around supporting local businesses and without the facts, we understand why, however this new project is a great way of backing up this idea with the FACTS. Why should you support locally owned and operated businesses? Because it effects you and your living space more that you think! It goes far beyond the local craftsman and sustainable forest products we sell at Circle Furniture; but the money comes back around to help your local economy through keeping locals employed, paying taxes to local and state governments which perform for you!

"68: For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home."


Check out The 3/50 Project and help out your neighbors and community the next time you make a purchase.

Lost and then Found at Circle Furniture

I am not entirely sure why, but it seems as if everyone in the Cambridge Store is a total dog lover.



A little while ago, on a busy Saturday afternoon, we discovered an unleashed beagle in our parking lot. our store is right on Fresh Pond Parkway, a busy street, and we were all concerned. We went out and convinced the dog to come inside. We brought her into our break room and then proceeded to call animal control. She had dog tags so we were hoping they would be able to contact her owners.

Apparently right after we called, the dog’s owner called the dog officer and reported her dog missing. She was told her dog was here and she called us right away. She had been walking around Fresh Pond with her dog when, the dog apparently took off after another dog.

After about a half hour the owner showed up at the store and a very happy beagle jumped into her arms. We were all so happy and relieved that “Molly” was going home.

We get a lot of walkers that come into our store and often they have their dogs with them. I can’t recall one time when a dog misbehaved and they always cheer up the staff. At Circle Furniture in Cambridge, we encourage all drop ins, whether they have two or four legs.

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.
