As an 18 year old, Chris Hotchkiss began delivering mattresses while attending Saint ' University in Halifax. Before long he was promoted to sales and his passion for the home furnishing industry was born.
In 2010, with the help of family and friends, Chris opened the first Hotchkiss Home Furnishings store on Prospect Street in Fredericton. Since then Chris life and business have grown considerably. He and his wife Elise added two beautiful children, Max and Evie and the business has added two new stores, Grand Falls, NB and Dartmouth, NS.
Throughout the growth and changes, the company has stayed consistent with what the Hotchkiss brand represents, a friendly, family business.more...See more text
One big mattress Nightmare!
I made the mistake of buying a mattress from Hotchkiss Home Furnishings in Fredericton. The first mattress we bought came dead on arrival. They were nice and warrantied it for us. We spent more money on a latex mattress which broke in less than 1 year. They warrantied the latex mattress and we decided to get a king size mattress so again we spent more money just to have a place to sleep. We finally got our king mattress after we thoroughly tried the floor model mattresses, the box springs didn't match one was brown and the other is black and it feels nothing like the bed we tried and liked in store. I called and they told me to give it a week which I did. It still is a terrible mattress. I called again and the only option they gave me was to buy another mattress.
The reason we bought a mattress from Hotchkiss is that they are a local business and they had a comfort guarantee. They will not honor their comfort guarantee. So please take you business else where before you waste thousands of dollars at this store!!
