Bay Breeze Patio Celebrates 20 Years Helping Clients Create Their Outdoor Dreams
We’re celebrating 20 years in business. We purchased Bay Breeze Patio retail store in Miramar Beach on February 1, 2005. Now two decades later, Bay Breeze Patio has been consistently voted best outdoor furniture retailer, and is recognized as one of the top 100 retailers in the country in the casual furniture industry.
We are humbled by the outpouring of support from our customers and the community. It is due to this support that we’re celebrating 20 years of awesomeness. We didn’t really have a clue what we were taking on, how long we could expect to survive, how successful, if at all, we could be. In hindsight, it was probably a good thing that we were clueless.
While we had no direct retail background, we had a combined 50 years of sales, marketing, manufacturing, sourcing and management experience between us.
We would love to say all of those experiences were critical, and they were certainly useful and important. But in the end, it came down to we purchased a business and we immediately fell in love with the outdoor casual furnishing industry.
Starting with only one manufacturer and three outdoor wicker furniture collections, today we carry 16 in-stock wicker furniture collections from the original manufacturer, as well as 19 other premium outdoor furniture brands—all within the original showroom. Embracing all things outdoor living, we expanded our offering to include premium grills and outdoor kitchens as well as weather-resistant fabrics, cushions, umbrellas, pillows, outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, art, rugs, and accessories.
While we’ve enjoyed this industry and appreciate achieving success and growth over the years, we have also had to overcome our share of challenges. We overcame the 2008 housing crisis, the 2010 oil spill and the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic. After the 2008 recession, we started celebrating our customers and community with a Customer Appreciation Event and their largest sales event of the year.
When we talk about 20 years of awesomeness, we are talking about our team, our customers, our vendors, our furniture lines, our sales reps, and of course, our community. Life does not get any better than loving what you do and where you do it.
Our Anniversary Event will be held the weekend of March 21-22 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., bringing in factory experts to further help you build their outdoor dreams. The anniversary event will take place rain or shine at Bay Breeze Patio located at 32 Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach, one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets.
