Corporate Quarters, Inc., Knoxville, Tenn., is a furnished housing and realty service, is celebrating 20 years of business success this fall. A woman-owned small business, the company whose motto is “Making Your Comfort Our Business” was founded by Sherry Williams in October 1994 and has been growing steadily while earning a reputation for stellar customer service. Kim Taylor purchased the business in 2008, and has strived to continue the distinction of providing top notch customer care. The team is trained to be pro-active vs. reactive because after all, Corporate Quarters has only one chance to make a good first impression.
Corporate housing is a niche in the hospitality industry that concentrates on meeting the needs of travelers or relocating employees who desire a furnished apartment on a temporary basis as an alternative to an extended stay hotel. Corporate housing is an option for anyone looking for a hotel alternative for both short term and extended rentals. Business travelers, vacationers, families between real estate transactions, those displaced from their homes due to fire, flood, or home remodeling, whatever the reason, it is Corporate Quarters’ job to insure the comfort of their guests.
All of the Corporate Quarters apartment homes in the Knoxville and Tri-Cities area offer complete furniture & house-ware packages, pet friendly accommodations, washer/dryer within the apartment, all utilities, cable, wireless internet and telephone service, all in a residential environment, some with rental options as short as two days. For those traveling throughout the U.S. CQ offers the same top notch accommodations and services for a 30 days or longer rental term.
In lieu of an anniversary party Kim and her employees chose to give back to the community that has supported their success. They established a Kick for Kids mission in conjunction with the non-profit Harbor’s Gate Ministry to provide 20 pairs of new shoes for Knoxville’s inner city youth to represent each of the company’s 20 years of business. Instead of an invitation to a celebration party the customers and vendors of Corporate Quarters received invitations to join the celebration by also donating a pair of shoes to support the mission. Corporate Quarters would like to thank everyone who helped put a smile on the children’s faces and shoes on their feet.
