TIFTON, Ga. — Turner's Fine Furniture has been named a Family Owned Business of the Year by the Georgia-based Cox Family Enterprise Center. Turner's will receive the award for the medium-size category at a ceremony May 28.
Turner's, founded in 1915, has stores in Moultrie, Albany, Tifton and Valdosta, Ga.
Any family-owned business that is in at least its second generation of ownership in Georgia is eligible to apply for the Cox award. Candidates must then answer questions about being a family business.
"It's a great honor," said Fortson Turner, store owner. "We are pleased with the outstanding quality work that everyone in our company does and are even more pleased to be honored publicly for that work."
The Cox center supports family business through research and education and is part of the Cole College of Business at Kennesaw State University in Georgia.
