“I wouldn’t do it without Cody joining the business and Larry, who lives here,” Curly said. It was tough finding adequate space in Mar- icopa, he said, but he managed to swing a lease deal on the space after lengthy negotiations with the owner. Retail space has been at a pre- mium in Maricopa, which has made it difficult for retailers like the Kiralys to expand here. Ashley will be the store’s name-brand furni- ture line, stocking couches and all the comple- mentary pieces. Mattresses sold will carry the names of Cosicana, Beautyrest, Sinnons, Serta, BedTech and Puffy. A virtual store will also allow customers to order online, with a computer terminal at the store offering 10 to 15% discounts, which competes against the big-box furniture stores, Curly said. “We’re going to give them the same prices I have in Tempe and competing with all the big dogs,” he said, adding he has confidence in the booming Maricopa market with customers happy to avoid driving State Route 347 north for their bedding and furnishing needs.
What do the ratings mean?

this month after work on the store is completed. Three full-time and two part-time employ- ees are being hired, they said. Curly promises discount prices on pre- mium mattresses. Cooling mattresses are the hottest-selling commodity to combat Arizo- na’s sweltering summer nights, which aren’t yet over, he said. The family has owned and operated the Magic Mattress store in Tempe at 8455 S. Em- erald Drive, Suite 105, since 2010. “About 10 to 15% of clients are from Mar- icopa and a lot of them have been asking us to open a store here for several years,” Cody said. While the Kiralys own the operation, they’ve hired Rancho El Dorado resident Larry Davis, who has worked with the family in Tem- pe, to manage the new store.

Bruce “Curly” Kiraly, who started selling water beds in the 1980s and ultimately owned and operated 90 American waterbed stores, is joined by his daughter, Cody. Both are long- time Arizona residents, business partners of six years. She’s looking to take over the family busi- ness once dad retires. The new store is going into about 2,300 square feet of new showroom at 44360 W. Ed- ison Road, Suite 100, which is currently under- going tenant improvements. It is in the Fry’s Marketplace shopping center and next door to Nekter Juice Bar. The Kiralys aim to open early
