Custom design fruniture. A long and winding road ... up the hill ... down the hill! But one thing always remains consistent ... our pursuit of a dream we call Pebblecreek. The decision to franchise originated with so many amazing, qualified people expressing interest in opening a Pebblecreek design store. We started to entertain the idea of "packaging our concept" and opening Pebblecreek design franchised stores. Now to find the right people. Again, the right people found us!!! And as they say... the rest my friends is history... So if you have a dream of owning your own business... and if that business is a furniture store ... your dream is the same as ours!!! The Pebblecreek Concept Value for Your Money
