Rental company features unique furnishings for a personalized experience.
“We can help with designs and details. It’s a la carte, so we can do whatever is needed to meet the customer’s needs,” said Sharp. “Our customers come in with ideas and we carry it out.”
The sisters took over the business in 2017. “We’re happy to create good events for people so that they will have wonderful memories,” she said.
Before becoming business owners, Jones was known for rodeoing and Sharp was a stay-at-home mom. They were born and raised in Prescott and graduated from Prescott High School. As teens, Jones was already involved in rodeos and student council, while Sharp was active in the National Honor Society and the 4-H club. Sharp earned a bachelor’s degree from Northern Arizona University in social work, while Jones was involved in fashion design.
“Owning One Hundred Chairs allows us to become more involved with the community,” Sharp said. “Our business has grown both in numbers and scale. We’ve grown our inventory by so much.”
When they started, it was just the two of them. Now they have five part-time workers, mostly young people learning businesses skills. “Many of them have gone on to be successful in other areas. It has been bittersweet because we love seeing their success, but we hate to see them leave.”
One Hundred Chairs began with one little shed, but now they have a 2,000-square-foot warehouse and serve the region – sometimes beyond Arizona.
“We appreciate getting to know clients and finding out what’s important to them,” she said. “Holly is more on the artistic side. She pays attention to detail and makes it come to life because it looks so nice. I’m more on the business and logistics side. I like working with people on the timing and parking.”
Sharp said the best part of the job is getting to know the customers’ needs. “Everything we do is based on customer service. We have unique items, and we want customers to feel that they are given personalized care.”
The artistry of Sharp and Jones will be on full display during the Prescott Area ATHENA Awards, 3-5 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14, at Starting Point. “We appreciate that Quad Cities Business News celebrates and recognizes community leaders,” Sharp said. QCBN
