Imagine being in high school when the pandemic hit; suddenly, school is on your phone, and you’re left with infinite free time. Edgars Cers and his brother took this and ran, as they created Comfy Living Chicago.

Comfy Living Chicago is a local Chicago business that sells high quality, affordable pre-owned furniture. What started as a side hustle turned into so much more as they learned the need on both sides of the business.

From garages to warehouses to even a storefront in just a few years, Comfy Living Chicago has seen great success. Edgars and his brother use a variety of tools on social media for marketing to their local community, especially video! He even shares how they leveraged a local influencer!

As they move forward in business, Edgars focuses on the economy, community needs, and how they can be a one stop shop offering affordable home furnishing solutions to renters and owners.

As a young entrepreneur, Edgars is focused on learning as much as he can, like this advice from Tony Robbins; The growth of the business is dependent on the owner's mindset.
