Whitewood Inds., Thomasville, N.C., has added 10,000 square feet to its High Point showroom at 215 S. Main St.

The company, which has occupied the South Main Street building's 10,000-square-foot first floor for 10 years, will expand its exhibition area to include the building's third floor. Jorge Mata, Whitewood Inds. CEO, said the expansion will afford designated showroom space to its Whitewood Ready-To-Finish and International Concepts divisions, as well present its John Thomas Select program more deeply.

"John Thomas Furniture has become well known in the Casual Dining segment of the industry, but Whitewood Inds. is a much broader home furnishings company," Mata said. "This expansion will allow us the needed space to fully exhibit our ready-to-finish division, Whitewood Ready-To-Finish, and specialty retailer supplier division, International Concepts."

The expansion will allow the John Thomas Furniture exhibition, specifically, to expand by 3,500 square feet, while the third floor expansion will be divided between the company's other two divisions. The second floor of the building is occupied by Golden Chair of Mississippi.

Whitewood Inds. Inc.'s divisions include, Whitewood Ready-To-Finish (unfinished furniture), John Thomas (casual dining and custom finish programs), and International Concepts (supplier to specialty retailers).
