(WTVA) – A Chickasaw County furniture business is expanding. A&W Custom Furniture, founded in 2023, is investing more than $2 million to buy the facility it has been leasing in Okolona and add a fourth production line. “We are excited to see what the future holds here in Okolona. So far, it has been great, and we have accomplished a lot. We are grateful for our community and everyone that has supported us on this journey. Thank you for investing in our mission and partnering with us to create this expansion with job opportunities.” A&W Custom Furniture Owner Craig Wedel   The project also includes facility improvements and new equipment that will increase production capacity.   With a little over 70 people on staff across its current three production lines, the newest line will add 20 additional workers. A&W manufactures upholstered furniture, specializing in sofas and sectionals.  Copyright 2026 WTVA. All rights reserved.
