I n 1953, Carol Vesters' parents, recent immigrants from Switzerland, started a small upholstery shop. This year, Swiss Interiors is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Carol began working at Swiss Interiors in the 80s and would later purchase the business from her parents. While the store name reflects the family's origins, Swiss Interiors is a strong supporter of local products, sourcing their inventory mainly from Canadian manufacturers. As Oakville has grown and changed, so has Carol's store. Swiss Interiors, known for its excellent selection of home furniture brand names, has expanded into home décor accessories. Tables, chairs, sofas and other home furnishings meticulously chosen by the team at Swiss Interiors brighten homes throughout Oakville and across Canada. Although competition from large chains can be fierce in the home furnishing business, Carol feels Swiss Interior's commitment to personal service sets them apart, as does Carol's passion for her family business and her community. Oakville is her home and she takes great pride in being able to help her fellow residents furnish theirs. A furniture shop rich in family history and a fixture in Downtown Oakville, Swiss Interiors is a proud participant of the Shop Local event. Shoppers taking part in the event can take advantage of deals and savings being offered by participating businesses in Downtown Oakville and show their support for small business owners like Carol.
