There’s something special about walking into a store that feels like home, where the furniture isn’t just stylish but tells a story of craftsmanship, care, and community. That’s exactly what Fowler Brothers Co. has been creating for generations. And now, it’s official: Fowler Brothers Home & Patio has been named the 2025 Apollo Award winner by the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA).
This recognition isn’t just another title on the shelf. It’s proof that our business one of the most trusted names in home furnishings, a place where homeowners know they’ll find lasting quality and genuine service.
The Apollo Award and Why It Matters
The ICFA Apollo Award is the highest recognition in the outdoor and casual furniture industry. For more than 60 years, the ICFA has honored retailers that set the standard in merchandising, marketing, customer care, and innovation. Being chosen as a winner means you’re among the very best in the business.
In 2025, Fowler Brothers Co. Home & Patio earned this distinction in the single-store category. The award was accepted by Mike Hartley and Matthew Smisson, representing the entire team that works every day to make Fowler Brothers a destination for quality furniture and outstanding service.

Winning this award shows that Fowler Brothers is the best in areas that matter most to customers: creative showroom design, consistent growth, exceptional shopping experiences, and a commitment to staff training. For shoppers, it’s a sign that they’re working with professionals recognized nationwide for excellence and trustworthiness.
Local Roots, National Recognition
What makes this achievement even more meaningful is that Fowler Brothers Co. is a family-owned business that has been serving families from Chattanooga and surrounding areas since 1885. For 140 years, our company has combined tradition with innovation, always focusing on people first.
Excellence can also come from a partner right in your own community, understanding the local lifestyle, the Tennessee climate, and what it means to make a house feel like home.
What This Means for You: Better Products, Service & Experience

The Apollo Award reinforces what their customers already know: they’re buying from a store that puts honesty, expertise, and care at the center of everything.
