We’re “Axing” For Your Feedback!

The JTB Home Team and their spouses recently spent some time away from the store to celebrate a very successful 2021! Not only did we have a blast throwing axes at MN Axe but also learned about the competitive nature of our coworkers. We’d love to introduce the team!

We all know that Store Owner, Tracey has a special talent for creating and re-creating a beautiful store each month, but who knew that she could moonlight as an axe-thrower?  Tracey is the creative force behind JTB Home Furniture + Décor.  She is an expert at curating and staging all of the amazing merchandise in the store...every month...by herself!

Her business partner and husband, Mark is our leader when it comes to business knowledge.  He is constantly looking for improvements and growth to make JTB Home efficient so that we can be a shopping destination for all in Buffalo.  Mark usually has his signature cup of coffee in hand during the Occasional Sales and is also our in-store gopher - he makes trips to the warehouse for furniture restocks, carries heavy purchases to vehicles, and often runs to get our coffee and lunch. 

Tracey and Mark battled it out for 2^nd place while axe-throwing. You’ll have to stop into the store to find out who won!

And then there’s Debbie, self-proclaimed weakling…she definitely won’t quit her day job at JTB Home to take up axe-throwing. Who knew one handed axe-throwing was so difficult?  We call Debbie our manager as she has a passion for rules, structure, and organization.  Debbie is also our Textiles Buyer and you will see her working most days of the Occasional Sale along with Mark and Tracey. Note to self: don’t ask Debbie to help carry the heavy purchases out to your car!

A familiar face that you may see on a regular basis is Ann (AKA, the best friend). Fun fact: Ann has known Tracey since High School and flies in from Chicago for our busy Occasional Sales.  Ann is quick with a smile, a chipper greeting, and has a talent for remembering customers!

We could not have been as efficient this Holiday season without our Seasonal Team Members, Janene & Arinda. Janene joined us in October 2021 and fit right in! She learned our systems and merchandise quickly and is a joy to be around. Arinda brings the younger person perspective to our store and is eager to help where needed when she’s home from college.

Here at JTB we are always striving to hit a bullseye when it comes to being your favorite place to shop in Buffalo.  So, the next time you're in our store, "axe" us a question, "throw" comments our way, and tell us if we are "on the mark"!
