TriFecta Home Center to Open in Sidney Early July

Three sisters, Becky Benson, Teresa Benson and T.J. Rost are opening TriFecta Home Center, hopefully the first week in July, in the former Finnicum’s Furniture building.

The Home Center fulfills a dream for the ladies, with each one using her strengths to complement the other. Becky had been in business with their dad. Upon his retirement, she was looking for something to bring to Sidney that would also utilize her degree in business management and years of business experience. Teresa has gained vast experience working with contractors, having worked at Creative Solutions for many years. T.J. is the interior design guru and has wanted to open a store like TriFecta for ten years. “We’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but this is the first time that all three of us have been able to,” Teresa said. Teresa suggested that Becky ask Finnicum’s if they would be interested in selling their building. “I asked and they did!” Becky said.

TriFecta will be a true ‘Home Center’. In addition to furniture from well known brands, the store will carry daltile and, later, have lighting and plumbing showrooms. They will carry some furniture that will appeal to those with smaller square footage, multi-functional items such as lift storage beds and unique hide-a- beds plus smaller sectionals, They also plan to feature local artisan’s artwork, and a candle line. Decorative and area rugs and a bedding line will complement the furniture or mattress purchased. “We are carrying the traditional stuff, but also items with a new, contemporary look,” T.J. said.

They will not be carrying appliances. “There are already good appliance dealers in town, and we felt we didn’t want to get into that,” Becky said. “We wish to complement the other businesses in town,” she added. They also have a “really awesome” line of outside furniture from Deeco coming in. “We hope everyone will be patient as we add more lines and more items arrive,” T.J. said. “We’re really all about customer service,” she added. “If we don’t have something, we’ll sit down with you and find what you’re looking for.”

Since TriFecta also offers interior decorating and design, T.J. will help customers plan an area, or a whole house, and find what they need. “Home owners will be able to find the finished product, furniture, lighting, accessories, tile, plumbing, and we’ll help you put it all together,” T.J. stated.

A unique feature of TriFecta is the Contractor’s Corner. Contractors and customers will be able to meet and choose the products for their home, customers can order specialty items, or contractors can meet for a cup of coffee. Contractors will be invited to leave business cards for potential customers.

What prompted the Contractor’s Corner was that all three ladies had major construction or remodeling done recently. “We tried really hard to buy everything locally, but we still had to make multiple trips out of town,” Teresa said. “When you leave town to find things, you either have to go back to pick it up, or ship it in which is expensive. We want to cut out that trip and have people order in Sidney and not have to leave the area,” T.J. said. Having all the items in one spot will be of tremendous help with a remodel or home construction since the colors and styles of various elements can be seen together.

TriFecta Home Center will be open Sundays. ”We want to appeal to those people who only have time on Sundays, and those ‘weekend warrior do-it-yourselfers,” Becky said.

The three sisters have gradually moved to Sidney. Teresa has been in town for ten years, T.J. for eight, and Becky for five. They are excited about their new business in “the town they have chosen to love and stay in.”
