TEXARKANA, Texas - Step into an efficient room, a sales floor occupying part of the space that used to be Skate America, one finds a small sea of mattresses. Varying in price and frills, the space promises one thing, places to lay your head to rest, should you be in the market for the same.

BoxDrop specializes in merchandising mattresses and giving customers options in the same.

"I originally started out this business as kind of a side thing, by appointment, along those lines," said Joe Brewer, owner of BoxDrop's Texarkana location. "But the business took off. COVID shut things down for a bit, but we've come back from that. It is a simple business to operate, we have low overhead and don't support a large sales staff."

There are 400 BoxDrop stores nationwide, each owned individually and run as a local business.

"Each owner shapes their BoxDrop however they wish," he said.

Brewer says his approach to his store is customer service.

"That's the key," he said. "No pressure, finding out what our customers need and helping them acquire it. We offer a wide range of mattresses for a variety of needs and price ranges. We encourage our customers to come in here, touch the merchandise, have a lie down, give it a try, find out what they need and what mattress will meet that need."

More than 20 different styles of mattresses are available at BoxDrop.

"We've got something for everybody," said Sarah Bright, sales manager. "High end, basic, long lasting, cooling, everyone's comfort level and budget is covered here."

(BoxDrop is located at 3706 New Boston Road, Suite B.)
