Porch Concepts recently celebrated its "expansive" new furniture showroom at 7036 Market St. in Wilmington.

Founded in 2015 by Paul and Mary Maki, Porch Concepts "has experienced exponential growth owing to its stellar reputation for top-notch customer service and high-quality products. Originally conceived as a complement to their existing business, Porch Conversion, Porch Concepts has since evolved into a premier destination for those seeking to transform their outdoor spaces."
In 2021, the Makis redirected their focus entirely to Porch Concepts, according to the release.
