Forty-eight years of building seating in Locust Grove, Georgia.
Family-owned, family-run, and still working from the same small Georgia town where the company began.
How it began.
The story starts in a rented warehouse in Locust Grove, Georgia, about forty minutes south of downtown Atlanta, just off the interstate. Our founder rented the building, continued a family tradition of furniture-making, and set out with a simple but powerful belief: if it built a better restaurant booth, customers would recognize the difference.
That belief was proven true.
Within a decade, booths and seating solutions out of that workshop were placed in restaurants and facilities from New York to Florida. Distributors started asking for Sims by name. Repeat business started coming from customers who had bought a single booth years earlier and wanted twenty more for a new location.
Production has expanded over the decades: new equipment, new techniques, more capacity. The philosophy hasn’t moved. We’re still small enough to answer the phone directly, and large enough to keep a stadium, a hotel rollout, or a 200-cover restaurant on schedule. Booths leave here every week for dining rooms, hotel lobbies, club lounges, hospitals, military bases, and coffee shops across the eastern half of the country.
The production floor, as it was.
We wondered if the world would beat a path to our door if we made a better restaurant booth. It did. And we wondered if we located the plant in our hometown, whether people could find it. They did. And we wondered if we could find the people to help make the business a continuing success. We did.
We manufacture the best booth that could possibly be produced. When an order comes through our shop, it doesn’t sit around. We don’t either. We try to please our customers because we know our business depends on repeat orders.
We are small enough to give you the kind of personal service that you want and need, and large enough to deliver a consistently superior product which we are constantly working to improve.
The team, today.
What you are actually paying for.
Three principles, unchanged since 1977.
Build to the highest standard.
No plywood at stress points. No corners cut on framing. No shortcuts that shave a few dollars off the build and cost the customer years of service.
Move orders through without delay.
A restaurant doesn’t open until the seating arrives. We schedule around the project’s milestones, not ours.
Keep relationships personal.
When something needs attention, the customer gets a person on the phone who can actually do something about it, same as it has always worked here.
