Locally Owned: Deck the Walls features art, framing and gifts Tue, 27 May 2008 10:31:54 -0500
Each week, the Daily News profiles a locally owned business. Name of business: Deck the Walls Location: 1945 Scottsville Road Type of business: Art gallery and custom framing When did it open? 2000 Owners: Dan and Jennifer Murphy and Mac Murphy Number of employees: Two Specialty: Art (originals, limited editions, open editions); custom framing (all prints, canvases, mirrors, etc); design (shadow boxes, collages); gift items (Bradford Exchange, Thomas Kinkade, etc.). How did the business get started? After graduating from college, our son, Mac Murphy, decided to live in Bowling Green and start a small business. After thoroughly researching the top 10 franchises in the U.S., he elected to go with Deck the Walls. His passion for design creativity, his love of art and his superb people skills helped in the decision. He felt Bowling Green needed a high-quality, reasonably priced art gallery and a custom framing business with all the latest and best equipment. What is your background? Manufacturing. I’ve run several plants in Mexico, Canada and the United States for different companies ... as general manager for Sumitomo, I was responsible for the three Morgantown facilities. After I retired, I worked with my son at the store and after two years he moved to Little Rock, Ark., to open another gallery. My wife, Jennifer, is a vision consultant for the Warren County school system. She works with me every Saturday and during the summer. What are your biggest challenges as a business? Management of time. What’s your business philosophy? One-hundred percent customer satisfaction and always exceed customer expectations. What issues are affecting your industry? The economy. This effects material costs, freight cost, delivery costs, energy, etc. What are the factors that make your business successful? Always strive to exceed customer expectations. Treat everyone with respect from the time they enter the store until they leave. Always treat their artwork or their memories they want framed as the most important in the gallery. How do you handle competition? Make sure I’m the best at what I do and offer services the competition does not offer. We offer 100 percent guarantee on workmanship, free delivery and installation. What is your advice to someone thinking about opening a business? Do very thorough research. Make a detailed five-year plan. Be optimistic but plan for small downturns. Be ready to commit to several hours a day, several days a week for a long time. Become knowledgeable in all aspects of the business (accounting, advertising, inventory control). Decide what you want to do to stand apart from the competition and build on this at all times. The hours are long but the reward is great.

State orders arena demolition be rebid Tue, 27 May 2008 17:19:00 EST
A top state finance official has upheld a protest by a demolition company and directed the Louisville Arena Authority to cancel a contract it granted early this year to clear the block where the arena is to be built. But authority chairman Jim Host called the ruling a mere "bump in the road" and predicted it would not derail the arena's construction schedule. He said the authority plans to award a new demolition contract by late next week. The authority early this year awarded a contract for $2.8 million to O'Rourke Wrecking of Cincinnati for the demolition. But a competitor, CRS Demolition of Louisville, filed a complaint challenging the award of the contract with the state Finance and Administration Cabinet. Host said the authority will use emergency procedures allowed under state procurement guidelines and tomorrow issue a new request for proposals from demolition companies to complete the work in the arena block. Host said responses will be due June 4 and that the authority will award a new demolition contract within a day or two after that. He said he disagreed with the finance cabinet ruling, and added, "I see no major delays" in adhering to the arena construction schedule. The arena is to be built in the block bounded by Second, Third and Main streets and River Road. An office building owned by Humana and a large LG&E facility are to be torn down. O'Rourke crews have been on the site doing pre-demolition work since March. The schedule calls for actual razing to begin in late June and completed by late August, with the site ready for construction to begin in September. The arena is to be completed by the fall of 2010. "We just want a fair chance at the job," said Daryl Brown, CRS' vice president of operations, adding that "we are very pleased with the ruling" of the finance cabinet. For more on this story, read tomorrow's Courier-Journal. Reporter Sheldon S. Shafer can be reached at (502) 582-7089.
