The Frog Pad co-owner Steve Pyle said business increased after he and his wife, co-owner Anne Marie, relocated their appliance and home goods store from 107 S. RR 620, Austin, to the Oak Grove Plaza in August.

“The highlight [of the year] was making the decision to move into the larger location,” Steve said. “[It was] because of the customers we have and our business expanding that we grew our space and relocated.”

Steve said the increased space allowed the company to expand beyond selling appliances into other products, such as countertops and hardware.

“We continue to see one-stop-shops as something consumers desire,” he said. “We know to look into adding categories when our customers are requesting it.”

The Frog Pad plans to host a grand reopening of the showroom at the new location in February, Steve said.

“We can still deliver, install and sell products,” he said. “But we’ve also basically tripled our showroom space, which enables us to give our customers more choices.”
