An extraordinarily successful garage sale sparked the idea for a new business in Morden.

Annie Giesbrecht, owner of the Morden Discount Centre, was surprised by the demand for discounted furniture after selling a number of items through an online garage sale website last year.

"It occurred to us that people just want good furniture at discount prices, and we thought, why not do that?"

The store held its Grand Opening on Saturday to thank the community for their continued support and the business's success over the last year.

"We decided that it was time. We've actually had some requests from the customers; 'When are you having your grand opening?' It occurred to us that it's as important to our customers that we succeed as it is to us, so we just wanted to thank them for that."

As a family owned business with her husband Henry, Giesbrecht says their secret is customer service, "we actually care about what you're doing, what your interests are, what you're looking for."
